Design Software

GAWAC R 2.0

Retaining Wall Analysis

The GAWAC program conducts the stability analysis of gabion retaining walls. The program checks a large number of different situations (geometry, surcharge loads, etc.) which may occur during the design.

Also included is a manual that covers both the program itself, and detailed design notes covering the types of calculations used in the program, including diagrams, equations, and further references.

Features:

  • Sliding & overturning analysis
  • Overall stability analysis
  • Foundation pressures
  • Distributed loading & seismic action
  • Safety factor coefficients
  • Water table & water surface profile
  • Detailed output of all calculations & parameters
  • Cross section printing on a variety of printers & plotters
  • Output of cross section to DXF file format
  • Detailed manual with design information

System Requirements: DOS 6.0, 33 Mhz Intel 386, 4 Megabytes RAM, 3.5" floppy drive, 1 Megabyte hard drive space

MAC.ST.A.R.S. R 1.0

Slope Stability Analysis

MACSTARS provides engineers with a rapid and efficient tool to conduct the stability analysis of MSE walls and slopes using Terramesh® and Green Terramesh® reinforced soils. The program allows the user to check a large number of load conditions and soil geometries which may frequently occur during the slope stability analysis.

MACSTARS allows the user to check one or more structures placed on a slope by taking into consideration their combined effects.

Features:

  • Slope stability for Terramesh® and Green Terramesh®
  • Sliding & overturning analysis
  • Overall stability analysis
  • Foundation pressures
  • Distributed loading & seismic action
  • Safety factor coefficients
  • Water table & water surface profile
  • Detailed output of all calculations & parameters
  • Cross section printing on a variety of printers & plotters
  • Output of cross section to DXF file format
  • Detailed manual with design information

System Requirements: DOS 6.0, 33 Mhz Intel 386, 4 Megabytes RAM, 3.5" floppy drive, 1 Megabyte hard drive space

MAC.R.A. 1

Bank Protection

MACRA 1 provides engineers with a tool to conduct the stability analysis of watercourse cross-sections with respect to both water flow and wave motion. MACRA 1 allows the user to check a large number of hydraulic conditions of watercourse sections lined with Maccaferri products, such as gabions, Reno mattresses and Macmat-R®, as well as with the most widespread bio-engineering techniques. The software facilitates the design of a lining with respect to wave motion, providing the Reno mattress thickness needed to guarantee the stability of the bank protection.

Features:

  • Channel protection requirements needed to stabilize the channel against hydraulic shear stresses
  • Channel velocities and flow depths
  • Shear stresses induced by wave action
  • Underlining flow velocities for filter fabric requirements
  • Hydraulic calculations
  • Several different types of channel protection options
  • Bioengineering techniques
  • Detailed output of all calculations & parameters
  • Detailed manual with design information

System Requirements: Windows 3.1/95/98/NT, 33 Mhz Intel 486, 8 Megabytes RAM, 3.5" floppy drive, 1 Megabyte hard drive space
