Determination of Trapezoidal Profiles for Retaining Walls
In spite of recent advances in the theory of earth pressures, that due to Rankine is still widely used by engineers in designing profiles for retaining walls. The design is usually a matter of trial and error, a suitable section being guessed and then verified to see that it satisfies the conditions of stress required. A method of direct design is given herein which enables a profile to be determined rapidly. Cases dealt with are those of walls with vertical and sloping backs and with the earth level with the top of the wall, or surcharged. The base width of a suitable wall can be determined quickly for any value of height and top width by the use of diagrams and simple mathematical formulas.
