A N Beal EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES - worked examples1 worked examples of RETAINING wall design to BS8002 The following worked examples have been prepared to illustrate the application of BS8002 to RETAINING wall design. They are not full detailed calculations such as might be prepared for a real wall design but are limited to the calculation of EARTH pressure and bearing capacity, showing how the recommendations of BS8002 are applied in practice. BS8002 introduces radical changes in the design of RETAINING walls. Traditionally, the forces applied to a wall have been calculated using representative values of key parameters such as soil strength and then safety and satisfactory service performance are ensured by applying suitable safety factors to the results of the calculations.
