5-12 Earth Retaining Systems Using Ground Anchors
dot.ca.gov(II) Lateral Earth Pressures. Consult with Geotechnical Services for suitable lateral earth pressure distribution for the project. For earth retaining systems constructed from the top down and restrained by ground anchors (tiebacks), the lateral earth pressure acting on the wall height, H, may be determined as described below.
DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF RETAINING WALLS
www.ced.ceng.tu.edu.iq8.4 FORCES ACTING ON RETAINING WALLS The design of a retaining wall must account for all applied loads. The loads that are of primary concern are the lateral earth pressures induced by the retained soil. Under normal conditions, the lateral earth pressure is at rest condition. But, if the wall deflects slightly, stresses
