Download or read book The Long Term Performance of Embedded Retaining Walls written by D. R. Carder and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 1998 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the urban development in the UK is founded on heavily overconsolidated sedimentary clays, which are particularly susceptible to swelling and softening following the reduction in stress caused by retaining wall construction. Moreover, the low permeability of these clays means the swelling and softening is likely to extend over many years or decades following completion of construction. For these reasons, design of embedded walls for long term stability may be critical. This report describes the results from continued monitoring over many years of various embedded retaining structures instrumented by TRL. The types of structure fall into two categories. Firstly, the report covers walls instrumented during construction where monitoring has been continued in the longer term. Secondly, it covers walls constructed between 1972 and 1975 and instrumented whilst in service to evaluate their long term behaviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of the 1990 Specialty Conference on Design and Performance of Earth-Retaining Structures, held in Ithaca, New York, June 18-21, 1990. Sponsored by the Geotechnical Engineering Division of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 50 papers on the design and performance of earth-retaining structures. Topics include historical perspectives, wall selection, contracting practices, waterfront structures, gravity walls, mechanically stabilized systems, cast-in-place walls, soil nailing, tied-back excavations, and seismic design. Papers survey the current state of the practice for earth retention and support, detail the rapid and profound changes to design and construction practices in the past 20 years, and forecast technological developments that are likely to carry the practice into the next century. Sixteen invited papers by international experts address aspects of each of the general topics, including trends in ground movements, effects of material selection and construction practices, and advances in design analyses and procedures. Other papers address specific case histories of various types of earth-retaining structures, provide results of performance monitoring, compare predicted to actual performance, and assess the impacts of construction practice and design procedures on performance.
