Earth Retaining Structures Reference Manual: Training Course in Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering. NHI Course No. 13236 - Module 6
The selection, design, construction and performance of earth retaining structures used for support of fills or excavations are discussed in detail. The walls are grouped according to a classification system that considers both the nature of the structure and its support mechanism. The factors that affect wall selecton are discussed and a selection process is proposed. Different contracting approaches are discussed and a particular emphasis is placed on the required bidding documents for each approach. Example problems are provided for each wall group. Case histories are presented documenting the selection, design and performance of a variety of earth retaining structures.
