Fast and accurate cantilever retaining wall design with easy-to-use input

ClearCalcs makes cantilever retaining wall design easy, with minimal input required for wall height and thickness footing to get the first result in only seconds.

Integrated lateral pressure methods for your retaining wall design

ClearCalcs integrate common methods for calculating lateral pressure for cantilevered retaining wall design including Equivalent Fluid Pressure Method, Rankine Method, and Coulomb Method.

Customizable reinforcement properties

Easily modify your reinforcement properties to optimize your cantilever retaining wall design.

Traffic light checks for cantilever retaining wall design

Get instant results for your cantilever retaining wall design for the sliding factor of safety, overturning factor of safety, and soil allowable bearing capacity.

With spreadsheets and clunky software

Frustration, fuss, and fragile formulas—the old way of engineering calculations that holds you back.

Struggle with endless spreadsheets and custom formulas.

Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.

Triple-check and verify manual input at every turn.

Old software feels like a maze, with unclear settings, limited templates, and rigid interfaces.

How it works

Your code-compliant calculator

Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure, and code-compliant—so you can calculate with confidence.

Save time with ready-to-use templates for wood, steel, and concrete

ClearCalcs offers an extensive library of easy-to-use calculators for beams, columns, and footings, designed to make structural calculations simpler and faster.

Choose from a wide range of pre-configured beam and column options, complete with automatic member sizing, so you can quickly reach reliable designs and reduce rework.

Beams

Columns

Foundations

Walls

Loads

Dynamically track your load paths from roof to foundation

No need to copy and paste reactions between calculations! If the top calculator's reactions change, the loads being inherited onto the lower calculator will update automatically. This includes all loads such as dead, live, snow, seismic, and wind.

Submit professional reports for permit review

ClearCalcs is not only easy to use, but also easy to check! All calculations follow an easy to understand traffic light check system, with multiple levels of detail available giving you the choice of printing every step of the calculation and all code and standard references, or simply a compact, one-page print out.

Report heading includes your project name and address
