Description
This publication replaces CIRIA R104 published in 1984, providing good practice guidance on the selection and design of vertical embedded retaining walls. It covers temporary and permanent cantilever, anchored, single and multi-propped retaining walls that are supported by embedment in stiff clay and other competent soils. It is one of the most important ground engineering publications since the mid 1980s. The book addresses the technical and construction issues relating to the selection of appropriate wall type and construction sequence to achieve overall economy. It clarifies areas of design ambiguity and presents a clear, unambiguous method for the design of such walls. This extensive publication provides guidance on best practice in ground investigation, laboratory and field-testing, design analysis and the use of good-quality case history data.
