March 2012 – TenCate Geosynthetics introduces TenCate MiraSlope® design solutions software for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) applications. This easy to use software program of TenCate will assist engineers in determining the reinforcement requirements for reinforced soil slopes and walls.
TenCate MiraSlope® design solutions software is based on state of the practice design methods and can determine the optimal reinforcement configuration for simple geometries using its interactive approach. The designer or engineer may select the appropriate TenCate reinforcement geosynthetic and facing system to use in their design, and analyze the potential failure modes for the design cross section. The design standards that TenCate MiraSlope® can utilize in North America are FHWA and BS8006-95, in Europe, EBGEO 2010 based on EC7 and BS8006-95 and in Asia, FHWA and BS8006-95.
TenCate MiraSlope® is available for download via the website of TenCate Geosynthetics.
