• Masonry and concrete design
• IBC, UBC, BOCA, SBCCI, and ACI codes
• Graphical input and output

Cantilevered retaining wall design that is quick, easy, and accurate is a top priority on any project requiring retaining walls. Daystar RetainWall is all this and more.

Whether your retaining wall is poured concrete, masonry block, or both, RetainWall can handle it. Poured concrete and concrete masonry can be used in the same wall and the wall thickness and reinforcing can be varied along the wall height.

An unlimited number of loads can be added to the wall including vertical point, horizontal point, moment, horizontal distributed, active and passive pressures, surcharge, and soil slope loads. As you add loads, they appear on the wall, so you immediately know if they are where you want them.

Easily change the footing and wall dimensions, physical properties, and loads by simply double-clicking on them and entering the new information.

Calculations include soil bearing values, overturning and sliding safety factors, shear stresses, moments, and required reinforcing for both walls and footing.
