Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

(OP)
Does anybody have any recommendations for a good retaining wall design software that is capable of designing a gravity gabion basket wall in accordance to LRFD standards?

RE: Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

Have you checked with Maccaferri?

RE: Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

Geo5 from Fine has Gabion package. It works good. The program is used to verify the design of walls built from wired baskets filled with rock (gabions). It allows the analysis of arbitrary shapes including overhangs requiring anchoring. It has many features and you can get it separately / individually also.

RE: Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

I believe that RetainPro also can be used to design gabion walls.

RE: Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

(OP)
I've looked at the GEO5 Gabion Package and have heard about the RetainPro 10 software. Why is RetainPro 1/2 the price of the GEO5 Gabion Basket wall software, does anybody have any experience with RetainPro and know if its a solid program.

RE: Gabion Basket Wall - LRFD Software

I use RetainPro, but not often. I like it. It is easy to use.
