Summary
FREEWALL has been developed as a simple to use, truly interactive, software package for the design of sheetpile and diaphragm walls. The program has been written in BASIC and is portable between most 32K + byte micro-computers with a minimum of alteration. Full data editing, disk storage and retrieval of data and results, inspection of results on monitor screen or hard-copy from printer, and many other user desirable facilities have been incorporated in the code for ease of operation.
The comprehensive capabilities of the program are illustrated with respect to several typical wall and soil configurations, encompassing multi-tied walls, sloping and submerged backfill, the development of wall friction and adhesion, and so on.
