Pit Wall
The “Pit Wall” module can be used to model construction pits in 2d and 3d. Anchor positions and booms on the lining walls can be displayed, as can all relevant cables and pipelines in the immediate vicinity of the construction pit. In addition, users can comprehensively analyze, design, and reinforce the modeled construction pit walls like bore pile walls, diaphragm walls, sheet pile walls, girder plank walls, and mixed in place (MIP) walls.
Also available in FRILO Geotechnic Ultimate
Performance characteristics
This feature is used to model construction pits. Thanks to extensive CAD functions, construction pits can be drawn in detail in a 2d plan or modeled in 3d. All calculation sections can be edited and managed in a comprehensive plan. Graphical displays of the results can be integrated into the plan. The program has interfaces for data transfer to other FRILO analysis programs, in which, for example, excavations are defined and analysis and design are performed.

- Specifications for grouted anchor bodies: lengths and diameter
- Consideration of the specified minimum distances between the steel tendon or the grouted anchor body and other anchors, utility lines or buildings for the collision check
- Dimensioning of the critical distances
- Modification of anchor depth and/or inclination at critical points
Soil

Soil stratification
- Automatic iteration of a 3d soil layer model from layer information of defined exploratory boreholes
- Automatic iteration of a ground surface model from point clouds or exploratory boreholes
Geometry

- Automatic wall length analysis based on the ground surface profile
- Automatic adjustment of the floor plan to multiples of the lining wall profiles (e.g., sheet pile width)
Excavation volume
