1.1 SCOPE
These notes are intended as a guide for use in the estimation of
earth pressure forces and the design and construction of
retaining walls and similar earth retaining structures. These
notes are not intended to be used as a detailed text
encompassing all aspects of retaining wall design. The
intention is to provide brief notes and recomended methods
covering most aspects of design. If a more detailed knowledge
of a particular subject is required, the references given should
prove helpful. Reference is also made to standard texts for
detailed methods such as the construction of flow nets for pore
water pressure determination, and reinforced concrete design
methods.
Aspects such as the use of classical earth pressure equations,
the effect of earthquakes on earth pressures, and allowable
bearing pressures under inclined loads are covered in detail.
Engineering judgement must always be used when applying the
theories and methods given in these notes and strict notice must
be taken of the limitations of the various assumptions.
Special retaining systems such as reinforced earth and soil
nailing are beyond the scope of these notes, and reference
should be made to specialist literature.
1.2 DEFINITIONS AND SYMBOLS
Throughout these notes, static earth pressure means the pressure
exerted by the earth due to gravity forces. Earthquake earth
pressure means the combined static and dynamic earth pressure
which acts during or because of an earthquake.
A list of symbols used, with their meanings, is included in the
front of these notes.

(b) "Long term" (or drained) conditions, apply when the water
content of the soil can change quite rapidly with a conse-
quent change in pore pressure and hence with a change in
shear stress. This generally occurs in cohesionless soils
with a high permeability or when after a long period of
time excess pore water pressures have dissipated in soils
with lower permeability.
In this case it is necessary for earth pressures to be
calculated from shear strengths expressed in terms of
effective stresses 0', and strength parameters c‘ and o‘.

2.12 LIQUEFACTION
STATES OF STRESS
The stresses at any point within a soil mass may be represented
on the Mohr coordinate system in terms of shear stress, t, and
effective normal stress, 0', see Scott (1963), Lambe and Whitman
(1979) or Henry (1986), for the plotting of stresses and use of
the system). With this system, the shearing strength of the
soil at various effective normal stresses gives an envelope of
the possible combinations of shear and normal stress. When the
maximum shearing strength is fully mobilised along a surface
within a soil mass, a failure condition known as a state of
plastic (or limiting) equilibrium is reached.
Where the combinations of shear and normal stress within a soil
mass all lie below the limiting envelope, the soil can be
considered to be in a state of elastic equilibrium, see Terzaghi
and Peck (1967). A special condition of elastic equilibrium is
the ‘at-rest‘ state, where the soil is prevented from expanding
or compressing laterally with changes in the vertical stress.
Any lateral strain in the soil alters its horizontal stress
condition. Depending on the strain involved, the final
horizontal stress can lie anywhere between two limiting
(failure) conditions, known as the active and passive failure
states.
AMOUNT AND TYPE OF WALL MOVEMENT
The earth pressure which acts on an earth retaining structure is
strongly dependent on the lateral deformations which occur in
the soil. Hence, unless the deformation conditions can be
estimated with reasonable accuracy, rational prediction of the
magnitude and distribution of earth pressure in the structure is
not possible.
For no movement of a retaining wall system, at-rest earth
pressures (or pressures due to compaction) act on the wall.
When a wall moves outward, the shearing strength of the retained
soil resists the corresponding outward movement of the soil and
reduces the earth pressures on the wall. The earth pressure
calculated for the active state is the absolute minimum value.
When the wall movement is towards the retained soil the shearing
strength of the soil resists the corresponding soil movement and
increases the earth pressure on the wall. The earth pressure
(or resistance) calculated for the passive state is the maximum
value that can be developed.

3.3 LIMITING EQUILIBRIUM CONDITIONS
3 The Rankine Earth Pressure Theory
Rankine's equations give the earth pressure on a smooth vertical
plane, which is sometimes called the virtual back of the wall.
The earth pressure on the vertical plane acts in a direction
parallel to the ground surface and is directly proportional to
the vertical distance below the ground surface (ie, a triangular
pressure distribution with the resultant acting at 1/3 H).
Rankine's method is theoretically only applicable to retaining
walls when the wall does not interfere with the formation of any
part of the failure wedges that form on either side of the
vertical plane as shown in Figure 2, or where an imposed
boundary produces the conditions of stress that would exist in
the uninterrupted soil wedges. The method assumes that the
earth pressure acts parallel to the backfill slope, w.
Rankine's equations for earth pressures for cohesionless soils
are given in Figures 2 and 3 and for cohesive soils in Figure 4.
Where there is submerged backfill behind the wall or the
possibility of build up of groundwater level, then the
hydrostatic water pressures should be added to the earth
pressures derived from Rankine's equations, see section 6.2 for
details.
Care should be taken in assessing the earth pressure coefficient
in cohesive soils, see section 3.3.4.

4.1 BACKGROUND
1 Wall Categories
The behaviour of wall structures during earthquakes can be
broadly classified into three categories related to the maximum
strain condition that develops in the soil near the wall. The
soil may remain essentially elastic, respond in a significantly
nonlinear manner or become fully plastic. The rigidity of the
wall and its foundations will have a strong influence on the
type of soil condition that develops.
Flexible structures, such as cantilever walls, displace
sufficiently under gravity backfill loads to produce a fully
plastic strain condition in most soils.
For rigid walls, such as gravity walls, basement walls, and
other walls on rigid foundations, including piles or rock, the
soil behaviour may be essentially elastic under combined
earthquake and gravity loads.
1 Soil-Structure Interaction
Basement walls in buildings and abutment walls that are
monolithic or rigidly connected to bridge superstructures are
often subjected to displacements relative to the soil mass
because of the dynamic displacement response of the structure
during an earthquake. These types of walls may be subjected to
a complex interaction of dynamic soil pressures arising from
both the displacement response of the structure and earthquake
elastic waves in the soil.
It is usual to simplify the complex problem of interaction of
earthquake elastic waves with wall structures by assuming that
the earthquake ground motions are equivalent to dynamic inertia
forces acting in the backfill mass. Dynamic pressures on the
wall can be estimated by analysing the wall and backfill
modelled as an elastic continuum or failure wedge and subjected
to gravity and horizontal body forces.
The dynamic displacement of basement walls in tall buildings is
likely to be dominated by the rnovements of the building but
often basement structures are very rigid and wall displacements
small. Where the backfill is firm soil, small movements of the
wall in a direction towards the retained soil can result in
significant increases in pressures.

the top of the wall.

Where V0 = Peak ground velocity.

For some cases, the weight of the wall may be small in relation
to the weight of the soil wedge and the wall inertia force may
be neglected.
EFFECT OF SURCHARGES
59
UNIFORM SURCHARGES
Uniform surcharge loads may be converted to an equivalent height
of fill and the earth pressures calculated for the corres-
pondingly greater height. The equivaient height is given by:
_ g cos B
he _ Y cos(B - W)
The depth of the tension zone in cohesive material calculated
from the top of the equivalent additional fill. The
distribution of pressure for the greater height is determined
from the procedures given in sections 3 and 4. The total
lateral earth pressure is calculated from the pressure diagram
neglecting the part in tension and/or the part in the height of
fill equivalent to the surcharge.
Concrete buildings may be represented as a uniform surcharge of
10 kPa per storey. Timber buildings may be taken as half the
above.
Traffic loading, when at a greater distance than 2/3 times the
height of the wall from the back face of the wall, may be
represented as a uniform surcharge of 12 kPa.
In some cases a surcharge load could aid stability. The effect
of two loading cases on wall stability are shown in Figure 46.
If the surcharge is not permanent, then loading 2 in Figure 46
should be assumed, for design purposes.
LINE LOADS
Where there is a superimposed line load running a considerable
length parallel to the wall, the wedge method of analysis may be
used, and the weight per unit length of this load can be added
to the weight of the particular trial wedge to which it is
applied, see Figure 47. The increased total earth pressure will
be given from the trial wedge procedure but the line load will
also change the point of application of this total pressure.
The method given in Figure 17 may be used to give the
distribution of pressure.
Alternatively, when the line load is small in comparison with
the active earth pressure, the effect of the line load on its
own can be determined by the method given in section (A) of
Figure 48. This is based on stresses in an elastic medium
modified by experiment. The pressures thus determined are
superimposed on those due to active earth pressure and other
effects.

EFFECTS OF WATER
61
GENERAL
DRAINAGE PROVISIONS
Water pressures must be included in the forces acting on the
wall unless adequate drainage is provided. For walls less than
2 m high, drainage material is usually only provided on the back
face of the wall, with weep holes to relieve water pressure, see
Figure 50. In these circumstances it may be desirable or more
economic to design for hydrostatic water pressure.
In general, if a drainage system similar to that shown in Figure
51 is used, water pressures may be neglected both on the wall
itself and on the soil failure plane. Adequate drainage reduces
the rate of softening of clay filling and of stiff-fissured
clays and lessens the likelihood of reductions in the strength
of the foundations, and is therefore very desirable for clay
soils. '
It is worth noting that in cohesionless soils, the active force
on a wall with static water level at the top of the backfill is
approximately double that for a dry backfill. For walls over
6 m high, particular care should be taken to ensure that the
drainage system will control the effects of water according to
the assumptions made in design. Many recorded wall failures
seem to be the result of inadequate drainage. Water should
preferably be prevented from entering the backfill from the
surface, otherwise any resulting seepage pressures must be
allowed for in design.
For a drain to be effective it must be able to carry the design
flow of water without backing up or blocking. The rate of
seepage into the drainage material and flow rate that the drain
can accommodate depends on the permeability of the drainage
material, thickness of the drain and hydraulic gradient in the
drain. Using a flow net sketch the flow into the drain may be
estimated and the required cross sectional area (A) of the drain
found using Darcy's law:
A = qd
PEI
where Kd = permeability of drainage material
i = hydraulic gradient
qd = the flow rate through drain
Cedergren (1977), gives methods for constructing flow nets and
applications to drainage problems which may provide guidance for
situations where drainage is important.
As a very general guide drainage material should have a
permeability at least 100 times that of the material it is meant
to drain. If this is achieved, pore water pressures due to
seepage will be minimised at the boundary and the soil mass will
drain as though it had a free boundary. Permeabilities of
granular (drainage) materials are given in Figure 52.
64
The filter principle must be used when seepage from fine grained
to coarse grained drainage materials has the potential to move
fines and block the drain.

6.7 GEOTEXTILES
GENERAL
The stability of a free standing retaining structure and the
soil contained by it, is determined by computing factors of
safety or ‘stability factors‘ which may be defined in general
terms as:
F _ Moments or forces aiding stability
5 ' Moments or forces causing instability
Factors of safety should be calculated for the following
separate modes of failure:
(a) Sliding of the wall outwards from the retained soil.
(b) Overturning of the retaining wall about its toe.
(c) Foundation bearing failure.
+ 92 Y B
gc = e-2Btan¢
Where s¢*, d¢*, ic*, b¢* and g¢* are the factors to take account
of the shape of the footing, the depth of the base, the
inclination of the load, the inclination of the base and the
inclination of the ground respectively. The factors can be
derived as follows:
s¢* = o.z B/L
ac* = 0.4 D/B if o 5 B
= 0.4 tan-1 D/B if o > B
B‘ = B - 2e
where e is the load eccentricity
For a footing eccentrically loaded in two directions the
effective dimensions of the base become such that the centre of
an area A‘ coincides with the vertical component of the applied
load V.
A‘ = B‘ x L‘
where L‘ = L — 2e;
B‘ = B - 28b
F5 (bearing) = C _l ('0'
21°
where q = %T for a rectangular footing
V
or 9 = BT for a continuous strip footing
When a foundation carries an eccentric inclined load, an
estimate of the ultimate bearing capacity lnay be obtained by
combining the methods given in sections 7.4.1 and 7.4.2.
7.4.3 Miscellaneous Foundation Conditions
In addition to the foundation conditions specified above,
bearing capacity can be influenced by shallow water tables,
layering of soils, and the proximity of slopes. Methods are
available to calculate bearing capacity in these circumstances
and reference should be made to Bowles (1982).
7.4.4 Foundations on Rock
Foundations on continuous rock seldom present problems since the
rock is stronger than most foundation materials. Structural
defects and discontinuities, or the compressibility of the rock
mass below the foundation, usually control the allowable bearing
pressure.

Note:

intact rock, whichever is less.
(2) ROD is for rock in the zone of influence of the foundation.
For infilled joints deformation will be larger, and estimates of
the joint infill compressibility may be required. The effect of
joint infilling on allowable bearing pressure for a limited
range of joint spacing and thickness is given in the Canadian
Foundation Manual (Canadian Geotechnical Society, 1978).

GENERAL
A considerable amount of literature is available from Cribwall
Unit Manufacturers (eg, Hume, ICB, Cement Products) and also
Portland Cement Association on the design of crib walls.
However, care must be exercised in the interpretation of this
data. Crib walls must be checked for stability in accordance
with section 7. Figures 62 and 63 may be used as an aid in
determining the maximum height for different wall thicknesses.
The crib units and wall construction should be in accordance
with the current WORKS standard specification for this work, see
CD 209:1988 (WORKS, 1988).
DESIGN LOADING
The pressures acting on a typical crib wall are shown in Figure
64. These pressures are calculated by the methods of section 3.
Cribwalls are often used for low walls of low importance,
therefore earthquake loading will usually not be applied. If
earthquake loading needs to be included the methods of section 4
should be used and the crib wall should be considered as a
dynamic active wall.
FOUNDATION DEPTH
The minimum depth of foundation shall be as shown in Figure 64
which includes a continuous concrete foundation slab. A minimum
slab thickness of 150 mm reinforced with one layer of 665 mesh
is recommended to prevent differential settlement of the wall
structure. The consequences of such settlement are described in
Tschebotarioff (1965).
DRAINAGE
10.1 GENERAL
Walls which have uniform cross-section with depth are considered
in this chapter. These include flexible sheet structures, such
as sheet piled and soldier piled walls, and more rigid walls,
including diaphragm and caisson walls.
The earth pressure which acts on an earth supporting structure
is strongly dependent on the amount of lateral deformation which
occurs in the soil. For flexible sheet walls, the determination
of deformations, and hence the earth pressures, is not simple,
because the yield of one part of a flexible wall throws pressure
on to the more rigid parts. Hence, the pressures in the
vicinity of the supports are higher than in the unsupported
areas, and the loads on individual supports vary depending on
the stiffness characteristics of the supports themselves.
Therefore it may be necessary to design a stiff wall to resist
at rest pressures.
Deformation of the ground adjacent to excavations may cause
breakage of water carrying services. In situations where large
flows may result, the prudent designer will allow for the water
table being at the ground surface when calculating loads to be
retained.
10.2 STRUTTED EXCAVATIONS
Strutted sheet piling is often used to provide temporary support
for the sides of deep excavations. The sheet piles are usually
driven first with support struts being installed as the
excavation proceeds. The final deformations of the wall are
highly dependent on the construction sequence and detailing.
The CIRIA Report 97 on Trenching Practice (Irvine and Smith,
1983) gives guidance to safe practice in the design and use of
temporary support for trenches not deeper than 6 m.
Failure of a strutted wall often results from the initial
failure of one of the struts, resulting in the progressive
failure of the whole system. The forces in identical struts in
any particular support system may differ widely because they
depend on such factors as the way in which the struts are
preloaded and the time between excavation and installation of
struts. Loads in similar struts in any set of observations have
been found to vary from the average value by up to i 60% (Lambe
et al, 1970).
Since failure of strutted cuts often occurs by structural
failure, particular attention should be paid to the structural
detailing of the internal strutting. Guidance on the structural
design of such walls, together with typical details of
