RTGABION | Gabion Walls

New Features of RTgabion

RTgabion supports as geotechnical software the design of slope stabilisation through gabion walls. The terrain, the earth layer formation and the geometric arrangement of the gabion elements can be defined arbitrarily. The following new features are available:

Adaptation to the latest generation of Eurocodes standards and operation under Windows®10
Adaptation of the partial safety factors on the resistance aspect
Working with height notations now also available with positive z-axis
Earth pressure redistribution for stability analysis
Tabular editing of earth layers from the database and the project
Tabular editing of colour specifications

Overview

Verifications according to DIN and EN 1997-1 with national annexes for DE, AT, and CZ
Parameterisable, polygonal surface and terrain database
Simple input of rectangular segments and, if necessary, a bottom polygonal segment as well as special shapes
Automatic generation of slide joints at the contact surfaces of the segments for the analysis of internal safety
Specification of an uphill and downhill water horizon for hydrostatic analysis of water levels
Design for slide and lateral buckling stability, stability against general failure, bearing capacity, settlement analysis as well as element failure analysis for single gabions

Benefits

RTgabion is an extraordinarily powerful geotechnical application and provides the following advantages:

clearly arranged and efficient working surface for short processing times
complete graphic-oriented input with optimum control of all modifications
fast familiarisation with online support and manual
simple calculation and design of arbitrary wall systems with free selection of loads and water levels
clearly arranged and complete result output including graphics and preview functions
