    Dam Failure in Upstate New York

    Old lake ? it sounds as if the base sediments were weak and somebody failed to assess the geotechnical works prior to in a thorough manner or somebody did not want to accept the site had gone permanently due to soak, and degradation, or nobody would pay what would have been a small cost compared...

    Anchored Sheet Pile using "Short Sheet Piles"

    agree with DRC1 that is what I would have said before reviewing the replies to date

    Traffic (live load) surcharges on retaining walls

    The input then is for the maximum load to be encountered and worse, after that you can sleep at night instead of seeing walls slipping down hills in a mudwash with odd lorries floating after it. Yes

    Backfill slope

    Inadequate seems to be agreed with by the fact that most of the local Motorway slopes are being removed under contract and the sites cleared back to prevent such load calculations being effective, that from many slips encountered. If the contractor knows you have placed a design that might incur...

    Lateral Earth Pressure

    Horror I would think you run a risk of losing the wall by a slip plane, rather than friction assisting the retention Mike Stagg

    Retaining Wall - Driving Moments Greater Than Resisting Moments

    ANOTHER OPTION IS TO RETAIN THE BALANCE OF THE SLOPE AND USE A REINFORCED STRUCTURE OF SOILS THAT ALLOWS THE EXCHANGES OF LOW FLOW DURING HIGH FLOOD AND HAS THUS TO BE OF ADEQUATE PERMEABLE STATE TO TAKE THE FLOW WITHOUT STRESS IN THE STRUCTURE THROUGH FINE MATERIALS CAUSING A SURGE EFFECT AND...
