We just got released on a large pile and lagging wall. We have MathCad sheets tooled for ASD design methods, however this project needs to be LRFD. Does anybody know if any design software has been retooled for LRFD, if so, which ones are the good ones? I see RetainPro 10 has a option for it...
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?
I'm working on a pile and lagging wall with a silty sand backfill and there is no bedrock close to my excavation line, therefore I'm only relying on soil for my passive resistance. After running some initial calcs in MathCad I put it into PYWall and was told by our engineer to check my p-y curve...
Our company does basic geotechnical explorations for mostly commercial buildings and some small municipal structures. Often clients do not have the budget to afford a consolidation test to obtain consolidation settlement rates so we can estimate settlement of Clays.
Can I get some suggestions...
Does anybody have any good recommendations for relatively cheap design software for drilled shafts? I'm specifically looking for something that includes the structural design of them, not just the P-Y analysis of it, we currently use LPile by Ensoft for that.
Does anybody have recommendations for a software that generates boring logs? We use Excel and its a pain to work with because it takes so long, however we'd like something less expensive then Gint Logs. Ideas?
