FEbeam 2D vs Cantilever Retaining Wall Usage & Stats
this app is designed to solve a very simple 2D beam problems in mechanical and aerospace engineering fields. It illustrates a step by step process from user input data to computing results. Text book is included within this app for further reading about the finite element method for solving problem. this app also serves as an essential tool for distant learning. There are handy cross sectional of different geometry calculator included in this app. The finite element theory can be found in the embedded text books.

This application includes two major calculation steps and provide you a comprehensive calculation report in PDF and in DXF(Autocad):
- Stability evaluation which includes the overturning, bearing, and sliding failure modes.
- Designing the different components of Retaining Wall: stem, heel, toe and key, for bending and shear, under the combined factored loads.
Results:
- Check stability Verticals and Laterals forces.
- Graphic display of forces and pressures acting upon the wall.
- Establish Stem, Heel, Toe and Key thickness by Verifying shear & moment.
- Bearing Capacity Verification.
- Graphic plot moment and shear diagrams to optimize reinforcing bars.
