INTRODUCTION

RETAIN may be used to design or review cantilevered concrete retaining walls

and bridge abutments with either spread footing or pile foundations. The
program supports both english and metric units. Concrete design may be
performed using either the ultimate strength design procedure or the working
stress design method. The soil configuration may either be constant sloped
backfill with a uniform surcharge loading or an irregular backfill and surcharge
load. A variety of loads may be specified on the wall, including axial dead and
live load at the top which allows the program to simulate a bridge abutment
loading.

The online help file and graphical interface is shown in Section B. Verification
problems are included in Section C. Additional information is contained in the
following files installed in the program directory.

License.txt - The license agreement contains the terms and conditions for
use of this program and documentation.

Readme.txt – The installation instructions, copyright notices and version

history is contained in this file.

The following steps are recommended for users new to the program or specific
features.

1. To learn how to use the program, view the Flash Demonstration Movie
that is installed along with the program and read the "Instructions" section
of the help file.

2. To apply this program to a specific problem, find a similar case in the

Verification Problems section of this document. Run the program to see if
you can reproduce the results. If your problem varies significantly from
the Verification Problem, you should perform manual calculations for
verification.
