EA Suys Retaining Tools analyses embedded retaining walls (steel sheet piles and diaphragm walls) in the browser. It follows the construction stages with excavation, groundwater and pumping, surcharges, anchors and struts, and reports displacement, bending moment, shear, soil pressure and support forces for each stage. The design mode checks the wall to Eurocode 7 with the Belgian approach (EC7-BE guideline 2022) and EN 1993-5, with a design summary and a printable calculation report. Free to use, no installation; results are compared with the published SPW 2006 examples on the validation page.
EA Suys Retaining Tools is a free browser tool for the design of embedded retaining walls: steel sheet piles (AZ and AZ-700 section library) and diaphragm walls. The wall is modelled as a beam on elastoplastic soil springs and followed through the construction stages: excavation, groundwater and pumping on each side, surcharges, prestressed anchors and struts. For each stage it reports wall displacement, bending moment, shear, net soil pressure and support forces.
The design mode checks the wall to Eurocode 7 with the Belgian approach (EC7-BE guideline 2022, design approach 1, sets 1 and 2, risk class RK2 by default, RK1 and RK3 selectable), with sheet-pile bending and shear to EN 1993-5, anchor forces and a displacement limit. Results come with a design summary and a printable calculation report. One-click examples (cantilever, anchored sheet pile, propped diaphragm wall) show typical Belgian cases.
Results are compared with the published SPW 2006 examples on the validation page: https://retaining.easuys.com/validation.html. Sloping ground, strip loads and project-specific verification are available on request.
