Retaining Wall Module (Prokon Module)
Retaining Wall Module (Prokon Module)
(OP)
Hi to all. I am a starter in design and I am currently evaluating the retaining wall module of the software Prokon.
The part that confuses me here is the H2 input (height of the soil outside the wall)
My question: Is it safe for me to use H2=0 or shall I use the depth of the retaining wall foundation?

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the software, what is H2?

But are the passive and active soil pressures acting simultaneously on the retaining wall? Since in bearing capacity check under the footing, bearing stresses value will be different when ignoring the passive soil pressure than when both passive and active soil pressure simultaneously. This also will lead to different footing widths and reinforcement spacing
