System uncertainty reflects the mismatch between idealised retaining wall behaviour and what is observed in practice. This feature is modelled using the concept of fuzzy sets where the degree of support for the lateral stress state at failure is considered and related to current limit equilibrium ...
The design of retaining walls and support systems for deep basement construction requires careful analysis, design and monitoring of performance. This is especially critical for deep basement construction in urban areas where the need for space and high land prices justify the deep basement construction...
[Partial Introduction - see PDF file for the rest] The objective of this essay is to provide a general overview of three types of retaining walls through review of current literature. The scope of this essay encompasses basic retaining wall theory and design. There are three common types of ...
This report was developed to assist the engineer and manager in planning andutilizing geotechnical engineering informaton, in the decisionmaking process for selecting an appropriate type of retaining wall. It serves as a technical reference, summarizing the fundamentals of design for retaining walls ...
Designing Retaining Walls The design process for asegmental retaining walltypically has a Wall Design Engineer or Site Civil Engineer responsible for thewall design envelope. Geotechnical engineers should be hired to evaluate the overall stability of the site. For information into the basic concepts beh...

CornerStone's Retaining Wall Design Software plans out multiple scenarios to design your project with its user friendly program, saving you time.
Abstract The purpose of a retaining wall is to retain earth. In order to properly design the wall it is necessary for the designer to determine, with reasonable accuracy, the magnitude of the lateral pressure to which the wall will be subjected. This requires an understanding of the physical ...

The National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) recently introduced a design manual for the analysis, design, and construction of geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls that use dry-stacked masonry concrete units as the facing system. Important features of the manual are addressed, including metho...
