Embedded retaining walls

Reading jobs from the Embedded retaining walls program via StruBIM Embedded Walls

The StruBIM Embedded Walls and Embedded retaining walls programs have co-existed since StruBIM Embedded Walls was implemented. Both had almost the same features, except that StruBIM Embedded Walls is included in the Open BIM workflow and allows users to define the layout of embedded retaining walls in plan view, and the Embedded retaining walls program does not.

Another difference is that StruBIM Embedded Walls can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform, and Embedded retaining walls was in the classic CYPE software menu (accessible from the download area of the CYPE website) until version 2023.a. In version 2023.b, Embedded retaining walls was removed from the classic menu, making StruBIM Embedded Walls the tool CYPE continues to develop for designing and checking basement walls, with enhanced features and the same user permissions as the other program.

In version 2023.c, StruBIM Embedded Walls can now read jobs from previous versions of Embedded retaining walls, allowing users with existing jobs to edit them with StruBIM Embedded Walls.

Implementation. PN-EN 1992-1-1:2008/NA:2016-11 (Poland)

Polish National Annex to Eurocode 2 (Design of concrete structures. Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings).

Implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, Reinforced concrete cantilever walls and Embedded retaining walls, for the analysis and design of concrete structures.

Implementing Spanish code "Código Estructural"

Spanish code "Código Estructural (Real Decreto 470/2021)" has been implemented for analysing and designing concrete structures in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, Reinforced concrete cantilever walls and Embedded retaining walls.

General improvements

Version 2021.g of CYPE’s programs is a closing version of the 2021 version.

As well as the new features and improvements expressly indicated in each version of CYPE software, process optimisation involving internal updates for all our programs is normally included. In each revision, all programs are systematically checked and changes are made to improve their performance, therefore, we recommend that our users (in this case those of v.2021) always update their version to the latest one, regardless of the country for which they are using CYPE software or the language in which it is installed.

Increase loads at a specific elevation

As of previous versions, users could introduce loads along the top of the wall (horizontal -Q-, vertical -N- and moment -M). Now as of the 2015.d version, these load increments can also be specified at a specific elevation of the wall. The loads can be introduced at any phase and the program automatically and simultaneously takes them into account in all the following phases. In the case of Cantilever walls, the load can be defined as a permanent or live load, as occurs with the loads applied along the top of the wall.

Code implementation. Eurocode 2 EN 1992-1-1

The following codes have been implemented in the Embedded Retaining Walls program:

  • Eurocode 2 (UE – International). General document.
  • Eurocode 2 (Bulgaria). Document adapted to Bulgaria.
  • Eurocode 2 (Romania). Document adapted to Romania.
  • Eurocode 2 (Portugal). Document adapted to Portugal.

These codes were already implemented in the Reinforced concrete cantilever walls program, CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
