When using these programs, you will typically need to input specific parameters to ensure the wall doesn't fail:

: For walls under 1.5m, a common rule of thumb is to bury at least 1/3 of the wall's height and ensure the base width is 1/2 of the total height.

: Run the stability checks. Most professional tools like ZWCAD or AB Walls allow you to export the final design to PDF or DXF for construction.

: A professional geotechnical suite that includes specialized modules for gravity and modular block walls. GEO5 offers tools for 3D visualization and 2D section stability checks. A specialized version called Redi-Rock Wall+ is available as a free tool for designing specific gravity and MSE walls.

: Enter soil type (friction angle, unit weight), surcharge loads (like a parking lot or slope), and wall geometry.

: The coefficient of stability against sliding and overturning should generally be between 1.5 and 1.7 .
