    This spreadsheet tool is used to analyze the stability of gabion wall structures. It calculates factors of safety against sliding and overturning and requires user input of wall, soil, and water parameters.

    The spreadsheet tool is intended to support design and analysis of gabion wall structures according to NRCS guidelines. It allows users to input wall and soil properties and calculates forces, moments, and factors of safety.

    The user needs to input dimensions of the wall and slopes, properties of the fill material, retained soil, and foundation soil, as well as any surcharge loads. The tool also requires the user to specify if there is water pressure acting on the wall.
