AMRetain is a design software developed solely for the design of steel sheet piling structures. AMRetain is quite a versatile design software, based on a ‘Subgrade Reaction Model’ (also called ‘Soil Structure Interaction Model’, or SSIM).
AMRetain allows the design of cantilever walls, as well as single and multi-anchored (or propped) retaining walls. Furthermore, it can also calculate a double sheet-pile wall with one or two anchors / struts level(s). A key feature is the possibility to simulate the different construction phases, which is not possible with standard LEM based software.
AllPile is a Windows-based analysis program that handles virtually all types of piles, including steel pipes, H-piles, pre-cast concrete piles, auger-cast piles, drilled shafts, timber piles, jetted piles, tapered piles, piers with bell, micropiles (minipiles), uplift anchors, uplift plate, and shallow foundations.
Lateral analysis uses the finite-difference method to model soil-structure interaction. Under lateral loading, pile shaft deflects and pushes the adjacent soils. Therefore, lateral resistance (pressure) is generated between soils and pile. By integration of lateral pressure, shear, moment, rotation, and deflection, the pile and soil interaction and behavior are analyzed. This is the same method used in COM624 program of FHWA.
The SAP2000 is a finite element program, with an object-oriented 3D graphic interface, prepared to perform, in a fully integrated manner, the modeling, analysis and sizing of the broadest set of structural engineering problems.
The versatility in modeling structures, allows its use in the calculation of bridges, buildings, stadiums, dams, industrial structures, maritime structures and all types of infrastructure that need to be analyzed and dimensioned.
