Retaining walls

مهندس مدنى خريج
  Retaining walls can be divided into two major categories

Conventional retaining walls 

    Mechanically stabilized retaining walls


    stabilized mechanically
    Metal strips


    Geo-grids

    Welded wire mats

    Geo-textiles
    conventional retaining walls types
    Gravity walls
    Semi-gravity walls
    Cantilever walls
    Counter fort walls


    design of the conventional retaining walls

    Stability check phase:  Knowing the lateral earth pressure, the structure is examined for possible overturning, sliding and bearing capacity failure

      Strength check phase: Evaluating the amount of reinforcement
      Stability check

      a.       Overturning
      b.      Sliding
      c.       Bearing capacity failure
      d.      By deep seated shear failure
      Overturning
        Based on the assumption that Rankine active pressure is acting along a vertical plane AB, the Rankine passive force is

      factor of safety against overturning about the toe (point C) is given as
      factor of safety: 2-3
       Calculate The overt turning : read the problem
