Flood wall design software?
Flood wall design software?
(OP)
Does anybody have software that designs flood walls.
Trying to design a lagoon wall and want to avoid this iterative process.
Thanks

RE: Flood wall design software?
There are many good retaining wall design programs on the market, nearly all of which will design walls of many sorts. Have you tried the earth retention engineering forum and Googled this ?
RE: Flood wall design software?
They are designed to hold back water not soil as in a standard retaining wall. But they look similar to retaining walls (inverted T shape).
Flood walls need to be designed for hydrostatic uplift pressure and are much harder to stabilize, resulting in a larger base and key.
The wall is needed to raise the level of a Waste water storage lagoon.
The design standard is US Army Corps - Engineering Manual 110-2-2502. But the calcs. are rather intensive and iterative, so I was wondering if anybody knew of any software.
Thanks.
RE: Flood wall design software?
Among these are a programs called RetWall and another called RetainPro. From your description, I understand you are trying to design a reinforced concrete wall to withstand periodic water pressure forces. Some of the programs will do the stability analysis and some will also do the design of the reinforcement; the "internal design". A few also have trial or demo versions so you can try before you buy.
good luck
