INTRODUCTION
This Redi Rock Wall program Verication Manual contains hand-made calculation
of following problems:
calculation of earth pressures
calculation of soil wedges
verication of the wall with the help of factor of safety
bearing capacity in program Spread Footing (NCMA [1])
analysis of sections: joint soil-footing, joint footing-block and joint between blocks
in program Redi Rock Wall
In general this Verication Manual has been made to show the ability of the GEO5
software to provide a solution consistent with the result of hand-made calculations or
textbook solutions.
Results of hand-made calculations are compared with the results from GEO5 Redi
Rock Wall program.
For further details please refer to our verication example le (Demo.grr download
http://www.nesoftware.eu/references/verication-manuals/) using our program GEO5
Redi Rock Wall (free download: http://www.nesoftware.eu/download/freeware/).

1.1 Problem description
In Fig. 1 is shown the simple case of the wall constructed of the 7 blocks RediRock.
Setbacks of the blocks are 32 mm. Footing from the crushed stone is placed below the
wall. Homogenous soil (silty sand) is considered at the both sides of the wall. Properties
of the footing material and soil are mentioned in the Tab. 1. (Eective parameters are
used.) Verication analysis of the wall is performed with the help of factor of safety.

Spread Footing in frame Geometry). Therefore the eective width of the footing controls
the bearing capacity.
