Sheet pile wall design – SPW

(6 customer reviews)

Sheet walls are relatively thin, vertical structures embedded in terrain to a depth sufficient to support an uphill embankment/downhill excavation thrust, including water and surcharges.

This structure can be constructed of driven prefabricated steel pile sections, adjacent, bored cylindrical piles, and reinforced concrete sheet elements usually produced on-site.

The methods used for analysis/verification are the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Elements Method (FEM).

You will also receive:

  • Global stability verification with GSA software
  • Flow grid for the analysis and design of steady-state water flow using finite differences.
  • Quantity survey and cost estimation, access to the geodropbox BIM platform

For the calculation of permanent displacements in seismic conditions, refer to the Drewseismic software

  1. Benvenuti Andrea (verified owner)

    Ottimo software, non mi capitano spesso le paratie ma dopo pochissimo utilizzo si è in grado di padroneggiare qualsiasi aspetto della struttura.

  2. Andrea (verified owner)

    Mi occupo principalmente di opere di consolidamento e credo che in commercio non esista software così intuitivo in fase di modellazione e che permetta una lettura dei risultati semplice ed immediata.

  3. munychanda

    It is easy to use it

  4. Sergio De Cola

    Ottimo programma che consente analisi accurate anche per schemi complessi mantenendo con un’interfaccia semplice ed immediata.

  5. Primo De Biasi (verified owner)

    Buonissimo software, di immediato apprendimento. Base teorica valida e risultati coerenti e corretti.

  6. giuseppe Biscaglia Manno

    Ottimo software – ti permette di modellare qualsiasi tipo di soluzione, permettendoti il controllo dei risultati ottenuti e una ottima analisi di studio durante l’elaborazione.
    Disponibilità e competenze
