TENAX Geosynthetics Software

System requirements

Operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7.

HD space: 52 MB.

How to install
Download the zip file (36,6 MB) at the DONWLOAD link here below.

Open the zip file and double click on setup.exe to install the software.

Follow the onscreen instructions to request the activation code.

Send the requested information to Tenax and you will receive a message with your activation code.

Enter the code received from Tenax to activate the software.

The code will be related to the computer where the software has been installed.

The same code cannot be used for more computers, but, in case it is necessary to use the software on different computers, it is possible to ask a new code for every machine.

Description

Tenax TNXWall has been developed by Prof. Leshchinsky, Adama Engineering, exclusively for Tenax T-Block System.
The software algorithm is based on a new theory studied in the last 20 years of experience in designing and developing software for Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls (MSEW), and supported by several real examples (Leshchinsky et al., 2010).

The new algorithm allows to carry out the stability analysis requested for retaining walls:

• Internal stability (tensile resistance and pullout of the geogrid from the soil)
• External stability (sliding at the base, overturning and bearing capacity failure)
• Local stability (connection strength between block and reinforcement)
• global optimizing the reinforcement tensile strength, and thus using the highest possible percentage of allowable tensile strength of the geogrid.
  

Upon user full registration, the software will be active for one year
(expiration date: 1st September 2012).

After the above expiration date, a new executable file has to be requested.
In this way the user will always get the most updated version.
