Gawac 3.0_User Guide Manual_R8.pdf 
The use of sophisticated software packages can assist engineers in developing cost effective solutions to exacting international design standards. They offer the ability to run a range of design scenarios to cover differing ground and loading conditions to minimise the design risk for a project. To assist engineers with this process, the Geofabrics team of engineering specialists are available to give technical advice in the use of the software as well as provide in-house or seminar training.
Hydraulics
Macra Studio - Water Courses
Macra Studio conducts a stability analysis of water course cross-sections, with respect to water flow by checking the hydraulic stability of different bank protection linings given an allowable shear stress and roughness coefficient for the various materials selected.
Macra2 - Gabion Weirs
Macra2 was developed to provide engineers with a rapid and efficient tool with which to conduct the hydraulic and static analysis of different type of gabion weirs.
Rail
SpectraRail - Rail Track Optimisation
SpectraRail software provides engineers with a quick and effective tool for evaluating design options and optimising rail track support using Tensar Geogrids.
Developed specifically for Tensar’s SpectraRail Railway Improvement System, SpectraRail Software enables users to evaluate and compare designs for both non stabilised and mechanically stabilised rail trackbeds with comprehensive cost analysis for each alternative.
SpectraRail software is a comprehensive, systems-based software suite that offers the full benefits of Tensar’s knowledge and experience in analysing both sub-ballast stabilisation and ballast optimisation applications. These applications incorporate Tensar TriAx Geogrids, key components of the SpectraRail System.
This software is available free of charge following the completion of a free training module delivered by a Geofabrics specialist.
Retaining structures
Australian Users - MacStars W - Reinforced Soil Structures & Mass Gravity Gabion Retaining Walls
MacStars W provides designers with reliable way to analysis the stability of gabion retaining walls and Terramesh reinforced soil walls and slopes having either simple or complex ground, hydraulic and load conditions. Current Version is December 2020
Gawac 3.0 - Gabion Retaining Walls
The Gawac 3.0 Program has been developed to provide engineers with a rapid and efficient tool to conduct the stability analysis of gabion retaining walls.
The program allows the check under a large number of different situations (geometry, surcharge loads, etc.) which may occur during the design process.
The program requires the user to provide the problem data and perform the analysis commands.
This program is able to deal with a huge variety of situations; the user may choose to perform complementary comparisons and analysis to overcome these limitations.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SOFTWARE IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO AUSTRALIAN BASED USERS.
NZ Users - Macstars W Reinforced Soil Structures & Mass Gravity Gabion Retaining Wall
MacStars W provides designers with reliable way to analysis the stability of gabion retaining walls and Terramesh reinforced soil walls and slopes having either simple or complex ground, hydraulic and load conditions. Current Version is December 2020.
NZ Users - Macstars W Reinforced Soil Structures & Mass Gravity Gabion Retaining Walls
MacStars W provides designers with reliable way to analysis the stability of Gabion retaining walls and Terramesh reinforced soil walls and slopes having either simple or complex ground, hydraulic and load conditions. Current Version is October 2016 which is an update to allow opening and saving of files under a Windows 10 64 bit operating system.
TensarSlope - Embankment & Slope Stability
The TensarSlope program allows experienced design engineers who have attended a TensarSlope training workshop to produce designs for reinforced soil walls and slopes. This software is available free of charge following the completion of a free training module delivered by a Geofabrics specialist.
TensarSoil - Reinforced Soil Walls & Slopes
Tensar program for the design of reinforced soil walls and slopes incorporating Tensar RE500 geogrids. The program incorporates new design methods and an improved graphical interface and replaces WinWall and TensarWallAS programs. The software is for experienced users who have attended the Tensar Training Workshops and for new users who have been provided in-house training by Geofabrics staff (17.5MB)
Latest version 2.17.6. Existing users should check their version and download this latest update.
Note: Install by creating the directory in the C drive, ie. C:/Program Files (x86)/Tensar International and extracting the contents of the zipped file into that directory.
Roads
TensarPave - Geogrid Stabilised Pavements
Software package incorporating new Tensar TriAx geogrids to assist engineers in the design of geogrid stabilised pavements following the AASHTO design method. - Release notes available.
Latest version 7.06.2. Existing users should check their version and download this latest update.
MiraSpec
The new, improved and expanded MiraSpec Design software is an analysis tool for engineers to design better and more cost-effective flexible paved and unpaved roadways with geosynthetics. You can estimate potential savings in costs and materials as well as potential environmental benefits.
MiraSpec allows the designer to perform flexible pavement Structural Number (SN) and Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) calculations based on AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) 1993 design method, and gravel thickness and cost savings comparisons using the Giroud-Han (2004) design method. Both sets of design calculations can be performed either with or without geosynthetics.
