gravity retaining wall design in enercalc
do any of you know enercalc can design gravity (either cmu blocks or concrete) retaining walls? i could not figure out. i would appreciate your help. is there any software that can design gravity retaining walls?
perhaps it will help to go the basics, this vendor's manual includes a nice review. here is the link:
i don't have version 6.0 so i can't speak on it. there is a module in enercalc 5.6 for retaining wall design but it is very difficult to use.
you're better off learning to design by hand calculations.
i have my own spread sheet. however, just wondering if there is any software.

of enercalc, but version 5.8 has retaining wall designs, both cantilevered, restrained and tapered conditions, in both reinforced concrete & masonry construction and are very simple to use.

greetings again,
i just realized your question was in reference to "gravity" type (usually unreinforced) retaining walls. my post about enercalc version 5.8 was for reinforced, fully cantilevered retaining walls. sorry i spoke out of turn.
best regards, registeredpe in az
i, too, was waiting patiently, and then decided to send them an e-mail asking for a status. i got my e-mail a couple of days later. i think they may have misplaced my upgrade.
