Reliable, Easy to Use Design Software
Wall Design Software analysis
Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.
Retaining Wall Design Software
The Retaining Wall Design Software helps engineers design Cantilever and Gravity retaining walls and is suitable for the calculation of block or concrete 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 references followed to achieve the results.
Various components of the retaining system can be calculated including the retaining wall stem, the concrete retaining wall footing, and the soil layers on both sides of the wall.
WHY ENGINEERs SWITCH
Structural analysis software that runs the full workflow
Easy and powerful FEA analysis
Run linear, non-linear, buckling and dynamic analysis within a single solver. No separate modules for complex analysis types.
Integrated design checks
Steel, concrete, timber and cold-formed design modules run directly on your analysis results. No exporting, re-entry or version mismatches.
Detailed calculation reports
Every formula, design check and
reference is shown in full, so you can defend every number, not just the result.

What SkyCiv Retaining Wall Design Software offers
Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.
Retaining wall calculations
SkyCiv Retaining Wall module calculates a number of stability checks and calculations to help complete the typical design of retaining walls.
Overturning Calculations – To ensure the wall is no susceptible to tipping over
Sliding Calculations – To ensure the wall will not slide due to lateral earth pressure
Bearing Calculations – To ensure the ground beneath can support the structure
Soils: Passive/Active/Substructure, inclined soils, multi-layered soil
Stem/Structure: Stem (including tapered), Base Input, Keys
Loading: Supports line, patch, and uniform loading
Clear and easy capacity and Factor of Safety calculations
Detailed PDF Reporting
Design capabilities
SkyCiv Retaining Wall design includes built-in Design Checks for the following design standards:
American: ACI 318
Australian: AS 3600
With design checks for the Stem, Toe, Heel and Shear Keys, your design checks are comprehensive and detailed in our design reports. Checks include strength checks for bending, shear due to earth/soil pressures and super imposed loads.
Full calculation reports
Structural engineers should have access to the calculations the software is performing. SkyCiv Retaining Wall Design reports show the full step-by-step calculations that structural engineers can review:
References to relevant chapters, checks, and assumptions for all calculations to ACI SP-17
Custom Company logo and model setup information
Detailed calculations of soil analysis
Relevant assumptions and failure criteria
Clear pass/fail summary results

Average response time
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 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
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
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.
