Torsion analysis and overturning moment (Enercalc & RISA)
Torsion analysis and overturning moment (Enercalc & RISA)
(OP)
Hi Guys,
1- On Enercalc or Retain Pro, which one of these following numbers should be used for torsion design of a grade beam that holds a retaining wall above it?
Overturning Moment or Resisting Moment?
2- Base on that number above how can obtain the area of steel to design the number of ties on that Grade Beam? ( I am using RISA 3D to design the Grade Beams)
Thanks in Advance for your future comments

so basically I don't have any torsion in my situation because the whole ret. wall is sitting continuously on the beam, (support to support) am I right?
but if overturning moment is the maximum moment how come the resisting moment is always greater than that?
last question, because I am using the grade beam as a footing for that retaining wall, what else do I need to consider in order to design the beam (except the vertical load)
Thanks,
