Overview
The ClearCalcs Cantilever Retaining Wall Calculator provides fast, customizable design and analysis calculations for IBC. To calculate the lateral earth pressures, users have the choice of the Equivalent Fluid Pressure (EFP) method, the Rankine theory, or the Coulomb theory. And retained soil is assumed to be in the active state, with soil cover in front of the retaining wall toe in the passive state. The calculator supports concrete and masonry (CMU) designs. Seismic loads can also be applied using EFP analogy. Concrete detailing needs to be checked separately.
Why ClearCalcs?
See how ClearCalcs transforms structural calculations from a tedious, error-prone chore into an efficient, stress-free process.
With spreadsheets and clunky software
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Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.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.
With ClearCalcs
100+ pre-built calculators for different materials.
Every calculation comply with the latest codes and standards.
Forget the worry of “black box” calculations; verify calculators with inline formulas, codes, and checks.
Intuitive tools built to your workflow, plus unmatched customer support.
How It Works
Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure and code-compliant – so you can calculate with confidence.
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.
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.
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.
