Retaining Wall in RSA

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

What is ablity of RSA for RC retaining walls as below:

1- Modeling the base and the stem as one part.

2- Applying soil load and entring soil data (bearing capacity , density , cohesive and friction angle , etc )

3- Checking for overturning and sliding.

** For general binifits , we would like to see a tutorial for the case above and as shown in attached file.

Thanks

The design of retaining walls is not supported in RSA.

Is is possible to model it as two parts , foundation + wall then placing fixed support between the middle top of  the foundation ( the base ) and botom of the wall then entering the data of soil?

Thanks
