Anchored Retaining Walls
This chapter begins by discussing magnitude and distribution of earth pressure for anchored retaining walls. The magnitude and distribution of the earth pressure on anchored retaining walls depend in principle on whether anchors are prestressed and, if so, with what force they are prestressed and locked off. Then, the chapter analyzes the force transfer from anchors to the ground. Verification of stability at the lower failure plane serves to determine the necessary anchor length, assuming that the anchors form a contiguous soil prism together with the wall and the surrounding ground, which slides on an upward‐curved slip surface in the failure state, and rotates around a deep point. Overall stability need to be analysed for anchored retaining walls. However, empiricism demonstrates that it is sufficient to limit this analysis to exceptional cases. The chapter also discusses measures to counteract deflections in anchored retaining walls.
