Download or read book Retaining Wall with Shelves written by Rajesh Padhye and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cantilever retaining wall with shelf is one of the special types of retaining walls. High reinforced concrete retaining walls may be used economically by providing relief shelves on the back fill side of the wall. Such walls are termed as the retaining wall with relief shelf.Providing one or more relief platforms or shelves, extending them to the rupture surface have an advantage of decreasing the overall lateral earth pressure on the wall and increasing the stability of the structure. This results in an economical design because less material goes into the wall as compared to massive structure of cantilever or even counterfort retaining walls without shelves. The study of such type of retaining wall is therefore important to see its performance. This type of wall is some what un-noticed structure. Very few literature is available on this type of retaining wall. This book presents an experimental study performed on a steel plate model of retaining wall (IMRW) with and without shelves. The book includes the structural design and a computer program for cantilever retaining wall and retaining wall with single shelf too. This book will be helpful to the researchers in this field.

The three sections provide the reader with a full compendium without being overly prescriptive.
Download or read book Earth Pressure and Earth Retaining Structures Third Edition written by Chris R.I. Clayton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effectively Calculate the Pressures of Soil When it comes to designing and constructing retaining structures that are safe and durable, understanding the interaction between soil and structure is at the foundation of it all. Laying down the groundwork for the non-specialists looking to gain an understanding of the background and issues surrounding geotechnical engineering, Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures, Third Edition introduces the mechanisms of earth pressure, and explains the design requirements for retaining structures. This text makes clear the uncertainty of parameter and partial factor issues that underpin recent codes. It then goes on to explain the principles of the geotechnical design of gravity walls, embedded walls, and composite structures. What’s New in the Third Edition: The first half of the book brings together and describes possible interactions between the ground and a retaining wall. It also includes materials that factor in available software packages dealing with seepage and slope instability, therefore providing a greater understanding of design issues and allowing readers to readily check computer output. The second part of the book begins by describing the background of Eurocode 7, and ends with detailed information about gravity walls, embedded walls, and composite walls. It also includes recent material on propped and braced excavations as well as work on soil nailing, anchored walls, and cofferdams. Previous chapters on the development of earth pressure theory and on graphical techniques have been moved to an appendix. Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures, Third Edition is written for practicing geotechnical, civil, and structural engineers and forms a reference for engineering geologists, geotechnical researchers, and undergraduate civil engineering students.
