MasterKey: Retaining Wall Design
Design of both reinforced and unreinforced concrete and masonry cantilever gravity retaining walls with complex soil environment to the Eurocode, British Standard and to other international standards.
Standalone module, requiring no other MasterSeries modules
MasterSeries: Retaining Walls offers the most comprehensive program available for the design of both reinforced and unreinforced concrete and masonry gravity cantilever retaining walls. Its interactive and user-friendly nature means you can immediately see the effects of adding loads, introducing piers, ties and props, altering reinforcement, or modifying the wall geometry, or soil properties.
You can design to the Eurocode, British Standard and to other international standards.
MasterSeries: Retaining Walls provides you with full control over the design process, enabling you to optimise the wall design with ease.
