PINWALLS | Underpinning Walls

New Features of PINwalls

PINwalls has been successfully implemented to design underpinning in practice and guarantees reliable and comprehensible structural design results. This software application is particularly characterized by continuous representations of the excavation and retreating stages as FEM system. The following new features are available:

From version 19 on, all new program versions are installed in parallel
Improvement for the slip circle check
Adaptation to the latest generation of Eurocodes standards and operability under Windows®10
Adaptation of the partial safety factors on the resistance aspect
Extensions for SLS analyses
Working with height notations now also available with positive z-axis
Earth pressure redistribution for stability analyses
Tabular editing of earth layers from the database and the project
Tabular editing of colour specifications

Overview

Parameterisable, polygonal ground level and material database
Edit special shapes with polygon editor
Different earth pressure approaches for the stability analyses are considered
Consideration of different excavation and retreating stages
Determination of internal forces, stresses, anchor forces, deformations and soil pressures
Determination of the required anchor lengths from the stability analysis in the sliding joint
Design for sliding and lateral buckling resistance, stability, global stability, bearing capacity, settlement analysis as well as base pressure, bending and shear analysis

Benefits

The output of text and graphics is performed via Windows® service programmes for the static system of underpinning, earth pressures including redistributions, shear force and deformation distribution, as well as friction circle and base failure analysis. RTpinwalls is a powerful geotechnical application and provides the following advantages:

completely graphic-oriented input including overview at one glance and optimum control of all modifications
calculation and design of the wall-anchor-system with a powerful FEM-solver
clearly arranged working environment and programme control
fast familiarisation via sensitive elements and chain dimensioning
online manual with comprehensive support environment
usage of templates
clearly arranged and complete result output including graphics and preview functions
