... to analyse the relationship between the surface deformation and lateral displacement of retaining walls. The cause of inaccuracy is also discussed, although this was found to be within acceptable limits. The research findings provide guidance for engineering inspections and control during construction in pit...

... retaining walls Soil nailing has become a preferred solution for stabilising cuts and slopes in residual soils in Greater Concepción, Chile. This is mainly due to lack of available flat urban space forcing constructions on challenging steep slopes. Projects of housing developments and widening...

... of treated slabs protruding orthogonally from the retaining wall. The retaining wall acts by stressing the composite ground horizontally and, due to the continuity of the wall, it is possible to consider that the cross-section of the composite close to the wall remains plane as stresses increase.
