What geotechnical software is used to analyze relatively rigid walls used for supporting the soil mass laterally?
Geo5 GEO5 is a geotechnical software suite developed by Fine s.r.o. (Czech Republic). First programs were written by Jiri Laurin in 1989 in cooperation with the Faculty of Civil Engineering of CTU in Prague. The software is used in the field of geotechnical engineering to analyze slope stability, shoring excavations structures, retaining walls, foundations (piles, spread footing or mats) and tunnels.
Earth anchor An earth anchor is a device designed to support structures, most commonly used in geotechnical and construction applications. Also known as a ground anchor, percussion driven earth anchor or mechanical anchor, it may be impact driven into the ground or run in spirally, depending on its design and intended force-resistance characteristics.
