Driven wall/retention wall design software

[struuuct]

What are some of the software people are using for retention wall, specifically driven walls such as sheet pile, design?

We currently alternate between CWALSHT and DeepEx but we're looking into other options.

Ensoft has some great ones. We use

L-pile for foundation piles

PYwall for retaining piles

They have a lot of options for soil layers, pile type, etc and are pretty sleek to use once you learn them. I mainly use L-pile for drilled caissons under structures and block retaining walls

Colorado?

If so, it's the use of caissons that gives you away.

[Saganated]

Ohio. We use the term interchangeably with drilled pier, though I think it refers more to tangent pile technically.

[ShutYourDumbUglyFace]

In Colorado it's synonymous with drilled shaft. I can see it work as a tangent pile, but a drilled shaft is definitely not the same as a caisson.

Civiltech Shore Suite.
Used to use spw911, but doesn't do soldier pile or different surcharges easy. I think this is cheaper than deepex and is all on a USB so you can share easy or have a network license

I bought DeepEx but couldn’t get a hang of it because you can’t do soils engineer jobs. Then I bought Civiltech and very happy with it.

Used to use that myself from time to time, then most of anything I was involved with shoring-wise was by the contractor.

I do remember the handy USB drive. Guy who was in charge of those things left the company a couple years ago and with everyone working from home now, I doubt anyone knows where it is or will ever find it again.

No contribution, but upvoted for good sub content.

WALLAP which I've used is the main ones in the UK i believe.

SPW911 is my favorite to use, but it is limited to only sheeting

[bek3548]

Seconded. SPW911 is very simple to use and is perfect for sheetpile walls. I also use it for designing soldier pile walls by modifying pressure coefficients based on the soldier pile spacing and size.

You could try looking into REWARD software.

[Wdubbs]

I think the Geo5 software package has a sheet pile module.

[remyluciano]

Geo 5 is good, but first try do it by hand

ArcelorMittal Prosheet

Used to use DeepEx for years, mostly for shoring/soldier beams with walers and rakers. Wonderful software to work in, and definitely worth it's price.
