GGU-CANTILEVER: Earth pressure redistribution

Classical earth pressure redistribution is not appropriate for braced or tied-back cantilever walls. Earth pressure calculated according to classical theory must be redistributed.

A large number of redistribution figures are programmed into the program. In addition, any form of redistribution figure can be created by defining any polygon. The figures available are given below:

  • rectangle,
  • 2 rectangles,
  • triangle, maximum at top,
  • triangle, maximum at centre,
  • triangle, maximum at base,
  • trapezoid,
  • quadrilateral with maximum at anchor locations or at any point,
  • user-defined redistribution figure by means of a polygon,
  • all EAB redistribution figures.
