Reliable, Easy to Use Design Software
Retaining Wall Design Software
SkyCiv Retaining Wall helps engineers design Cantilever and Gravity rienforced concrete retaining walls. The software includes calculations for overturning, sliding, and bearing utilization ratios. Once a design has been executed, a PDF design report can be generated to show the detailed calculations steps and code references.
Various components of the retaining system can be customized, including the retaining wall stem, concrete footing, and soil layers on both sides of the wall.
WHY ENGINEERs SWITCH
Simple. Transparent. 100% Cloud-based
Flexible configuration for wall, soil, and loads
Model retaining wall by updating geometry inputs for stem, base, and key. Modify soil properties and add soil layers. Apply uniform, patch, or line loads.
Stability and design checks
Overturning, bearing, and sliding checks to ensure the safety of the structure. Design calculation support for ACI and AS.
Detailed calculation reports
Every formula, design check and
reference is shown in full, so you can defend every number, not just the result.

Real-time update as you modify geometries, materials, and loads
High-definition graphics with customizable color and texture
Visibility settings for concrete and soil dimensions, soil layers, and soil pressure
Stability Checks
Multiple stability check considerations that calculate the factor of safety of the structure
Overturning Calculations: Ensure the wall is not susceptible to tipping.
Sliding Calculations: Ensure the wall will not slide due to lateral earth pressure
Bearing Calculations: Ensure the ground beneath can support the structure.
Design Capabilities
SkyCiv Retaining Wall software includes built-in Design Checks. Design checks for Stem, Toe, Heel and Shear Keys, provided with a comprehensive and detailed design report. Strength checks for bending and shear due to active and passive soil pressures and super imposed loads are included.
American Standard: ACI 318
Australian Standard: AS 3600
Detailed Calculation Reports
Structural engineers should be able to inspect and understand calculations behind their design software.
SkyCiv Retaining Wall Design reports show the full step-by-step calculations that engineers can review:
References to relevant chapters (such as ACI SP-17), checks, and design parameters in all calculations
Detailed calculations of soil analysis
Relevant assumptions and failure criteria
Clear pass/fail summary results

testimonials
Trusted by thousands
The ease of use and the presentation of the results are both awesome. I have had ongoing interaction with the support team and everyone is excellent.
Mitch Frumkin
CEO OF KIPCON
It is used for various civil and mechanical engineering courses and the students love it. We are happy with the continuous updates to SkyCiv as well, highly recommended.
Dr Kenneth R. Leitch
Assoc. Prof. at Texas A&M
It was easily the most intuitive package available to learn; it is particularly easy to build the 3D model and define nodes, members, supports, materials, sections, then apply loads & combinations.
Stuart Agars
Managing Director of Struct-Sure Limited
SkyCiv has been a great tool to help efficiently and clearly document and update design results for a member of a small company with multiple responsibilities.
