Open: Retaining Wall Excavation Support Design and Analysis

Retaining walls must be designed so that foundation pressures do not exceed allowable bearing pressures, wall settlements are tolerable, safety factors against sliding and overturning are adequate, and the wall possesses adequate structural strength.

• Design considerations for retaining walls
• Earth pressures
• Equivalent fluid pressures
• Design procedures for retaining walls
• Crib wall
• Excavation support systems
• Strutted excavations
• Stability of bottom of excavation
• Anchored walls
