MDC is a software product for the
design and analysis of reinforced
concrete retaining walls
either resting on their own
foundation or on piles, optionally
supported by tiebacks.
The geotechnical computation employs
the standard geotechnical methods
subject to user choice and carries
out the verifications prescribed by
standard selected, amongst which
global stability even in seismic
conditions. Structural evaluations
performs reinforcements sizing and
verification with Ultimate
Limit State.
MAIN FEATURES
Thanks to the manifold options
available, the program permits
treatment of Reinforced Concrete and
Gravity walls in an ample range of
cases.
• Reinforced concrete walls
• Gravity walls
• Walls supported on piles or
minipiles
• Walls with tiebacks/anchors
• Walls with a shelf on the uphill
side;
• Footing keys;
• Stepped wall on uphill side;
• Tapered profile (stem and footing)
on both sides;
• Forces acting on wall: FX, FY, MZ
on n points;
• Layered terrain;
• Backfill ;
• Loads on backfill;
• Inclined terrain on up and
downhill sides.
• Ground water or also confined
water layers.
• Drainage insertion on uphill side;
• Fixed head walls
• Stress diagrams
• Reinforcements Editor
• Standards:
EC2-EC7-EC8-STAS-British
Codes BS8004/BS8110

Stratigraphy
Markedly simple layer declaration
allows any series of layers to be
modelled on up and down hill sides
of the wall with individual
inclination. Mouse click and drag
allow layer boundaries to be moved
or inclined. To each layer are
assigned the geotechnic parameters
required for computation and to each
may be associated a colour and/or
texture. An internal soils database,
expandable and amendable by the
user, is simplifies these choices.
ARMATURES
Structural computation may be
performed either by Limit state or
Admissible tensions methods as
selected by the user with the option
to individually define the minimum
number and diameter of bars in each
element of the wall: stem, footing,
key, or shelf. Sizing and
verification of the reinforced
concrete section is performed at
different elevations.
