Conventional Retaining WallsGravity Retaining Structures
Stability depends on the self weight of the wallNot economical for design
Semi-gravity Retaining StructuresMinimum amount of reinforcement may be used in the wall to reducethe size of wall
Cantilever Retaining WallsReinforced concrete is used in wall design with thin stem and slab baseRelatively economical for design

Conventional Retaining Walls
Counterfort/Buttressed Retaining wallsSimilar to Cantilever retaining walls, but thin slab stems may beused at some interval to tie the base slab and stem in order toreduce the shear force and bending moment for moreeconomical design

Retaining Wall Design: Proportioning
First, approximatedimensions arechosen for theretaining wall.Then, stability ofwall is checked forthese dimensions.Section is changedif its undesirablefrom the stability oreconomy point ofview.

Earth Pressure on Retaining Wall
Earth pressure may becalculated at the vertical
section going through theheel of wall. This is underthe constraint that Heel is
proportioned in such a waythat line AC makes an
angle less than or equal toh with vertical.

Excessive SETTLEMENTmay occur if weak soil
layer is located below thefoundation within 1.5
times foundation width.
13
Stability of retaining wall
Deep seated shear failure may occur if there isa weak soil layer below the foundation within a
depth of about 1.5 times width of foundation.
The failure surface may be assumed to havecylindrical shape and critical failure surface forsliding may be determined through analysis.
For back fill with its slopeless than 10º, the criticalsliding surface may be
assumed to pass throughheel of the retaining wall.

In the design of cantilever retaining wall it is preferred that the stem center isright above the location of resultant force at the base (resultant of soil reaction).

In most casespassive earth

FOS against sliding
Base friction andadhesion may be
taken by thefollowing
assumption
Alternatives for Improving FOS against Sliding
Use base key toincrease the passive
resistance againstsliding
Use a Dead man anchorat the stem to transfer apart of sliding force to it.
Increase the width of baseslab (preferably on heel side)

For e > B/6, qmin becomes negative,i.e. tensile force. This is not desirable
and re-proportioning is required

Bearing capacity of soil can be calculated using general bearingcapacity equation.
qu = c.Nc.sc.dc.ic +q.Nq.sq.dq.iq +0.5g.B.Ng.sg.dg.ig
Following consideration have to made during the analysis
The eccentricity of load on the foundation can be incorporated usingeffective area method. The bearing capacity is calculated assuming thewidth of foundation as B'
B’ = B-2e
Inclination of resultant force has to taken into account

Wall JointsConstruction Joints: Vertical or horizontal joints are placed between twosuccessive pour of concrete. To increase shear resistance at the joints,keys may used as shown in the figure below.
Contraction Joint: These are verticaljoints placed in the wall (from top of baseslab to the top of wall) that allow the
21
concrete to shrink without noticeable harm.The groove may be 6-8 mm wide, 12-16mm deep, and they are placed at 8-12 mspacing.
Wall Joints
Expansion Joint: These vertical joints are provided in large retainingwalls to allow for the expansion of concrete due to temperature changesand they are usually extended from top to bottom of the wall. Thesejoints may be filled with flexible joint fillers. Horizontal reinforcing steelbars running across the stem are continuous through all joints. However,the current thinking is that the large resistance to expansion/contractionon the back face of wall from lateral pressure + the friction resistance ofthe base, these joints are practically useless.
22
Wall DrainageAccumulation of rain water in the back fill results in its saturation, andthus a considerable increase in the earth pressure acting on the wall.This may eventually lead to unstable conditions. Two of the options totake care of this problem are the following:
Provision of weep holes w/o geo-textile on the back-face of wall
Perforated pipe draining system with filter
Filter materialWeep hole Filter material
Perforated pipe
23
Inclined drains
Wall DrainageWeep Holes: They should have a minimumdiameter of 10 cm and be adequately spaceddepending on the backfill material. Geo-textile material or a thin layer of some otherfilter may be used on the back face of wallfor the full height in order to avoid the backfill material entering the weep holes andeventually clogging them.
Combination of inclined
Vertical drains
Top drains for claybackfillsand horizontal drain for
cohesive soils
24
Wall Drainage
Perforated Pipes: These are provided horizontally along the back face ofwall at the bottom of stem. The filter material around the perforated pipeshould satisfy the following requirements.
The soil to be protected should note wash into the filter

Wall Settlements
Settlement of soil below the wallImmediate settlement in granular soil.Consolidation settlement in cohesive soil.
Differential settlementHeel settlement is larger when there is substantial increase inbackfillToe settlements are produced by lateral earth pressure. Tominimize toe settlements, ground may be strengthened using sandpiles, rock columns, grouting, or structural piles.
Differential settlements along the length of wall may producecracks in the wall. This can be watched during construction itselfand preemptive action may be taken such as ensuring propercompaction of the ground.
