LARIXGeotechnical Analyses |
![]() |
LARIX is a program for geotechnical analyses based on classic methods. Its graphical user interface and the clearly laid out results make it a very userfriendly application. Thanks to a complete documentation and many intermediate results it is possible to understand and reproduce all the performed calculations.
LARIX consists of the following modules:
Nail walls
With the Nail Walls module (option N), nail walls can be designed and verified together
with the Stability module. The stability can be calculated with the block sliding method
or the method of slices. The geotechnical verifications overturning, sliding and bearing capacity
can be carried out on the nailed soil body. The reinforcement of the shotcrete
shell can be determined and the punching can be checked.

Stability of Slopes
The module S performs global stability analyses for slopes, embankments,
excavations, retaining walls and nail walls using the method of slices.
It offers the well accepted methods of Janbu and Krey.
The stability can be evaluated using circular slip faces with or without
end tangents or polygonal slip faces.

Excavations
The module G offers the analysis of support of excavations with and without ground anchors
for structures like sheetpile walls, diaphragm walls, secant pile walls or soldier beam
pile supports (Berlin−type walls). Construction phases can be simulated close to reality.

An option "Design of Cross Sections" allow a design
and verification of cross section elements for the different wall types
like e.g. the reinforcement of diaphragm- and pile walls or the profiles of
sheet piling- or soldier pile walls.

Retaining Walls
The module M allows a detailed analysis and design of retainig walls and nail walls.
The parametrized input covers gravity walls and cantilever walls.

3D Ground and Settlements
The digital ground model of option 3 is a three-dimensional model describing terrain,
groundwater table, bedrock and soil layers within a selected domain.
This model allows the following applications:
