MACSTARS IS THE TOOL FOR DESIGNING
REINFORCED SOIL SLOPES AND WALLS AND COMPLEX HYBRID STRUCTURES

Our software suits the requirements of the civil and geotechnical engineers around the world while also offering additional benefits of cost-effectiveness and improved buildability

IN A NUTSHELL

Within the MacSTARS package, engineers can select the most up to date and certified products (e.g. BBA and CE marked) to be used within their retaining wall or reinforced soil slope/wall.

The software has a built-in library of characteristic values of the various products (e.g. for geogrids: strength, strain, interaction factors etc) to be used for the design of a slope or a wall. In this way, the designer avoids an incorrect assessment that could compromise the ultimate stability of the structure.

MacSTARS accommodates complex soil geometries and other features including pore water pressure, seismic conditions, external uniform and point load surcharges.
The internal and global stability checks, including the reinforcement tension path are compliant with most of the worldwide design standards for retaining walls and reinforced soil slopes; the current library allows the user to design following, among others, the Eurocode 7, BS 8006 (British), NF P94-270 and NF XP G38-064 (French), DIN 1054 (German), SANS 207 (South African), A-NZ (Australian), Russians, FHWA (American) and NTC 2018 (Italian) standards.
