Verification of Redi-Rock Wall Design Using GEO5 – Metric

The GEO5 Redi-Rock Wall Verification Manual (Metric) is a crucial resource for geotechnical engineers tasked with ensuring the stability and safety of Redi-Rock wall designs. This manual presents a detailed comparison between hand-made calculations and the results generated by the GEO5 Redi-Rock Wall program, focusing on permanent design situations.

Learning Objectives
This manual is designed to help users:

  • Conduct manual calculations for the stability of Redi-Rock walls.
  • Use GEO5 software to verify these calculations.
  • Benchmark results to ensure design accuracy and safety.

Purpose of the Verification Manual
The purpose of this manual is to validate the GEO5 Redi-Rock Wall program’s results against manual calculations. This benchmarking process is essential for confirming the software’s accuracy and ensuring that the Redi-Rock wall designs are both safe and compliant with engineering standards.

Content Overview

  • Basic Concepts and Assumptions: An overview of the principles and assumptions used in Redi-Rock wall design.
  • Methodology: Step-by-step manual calculation methods for stability, including bearing capacity, slip resistance, and overturning checks.
  • GEO5 Software Application: Instructions on data input, result interpretation, and comparison with manual calculations.
  • Benchmarking Process: Detailed comparisons of manual and software results to validate the accuracy of the GEO5 program.
  • Comparison and Analysis: A thorough analysis of the differences and similarities between manual calculations and GEO5 outputs.

Practical Assignment
Users are encouraged to perform a verification analysis of a Redi-Rock wall using both manual calculations and GEO5 software. The assignment involves checking stability factors such as bearing capacity, slip resistance, and overturning moments, and then comparing these with the software’s results.

Conclusions
The manual concludes that the GEO5 Redi-Rock Wall program provides results that align closely with hand-made calculations, confirming its accuracy and reliability for Redi-Rock wall design verification.
