Hi All
I currently have a situation where we are building next to a railway with a retaining wall between us (our property on the higher level). They require us to compile a report of what our structural effect/loadings it will add to the retaining wall. I have calculated this according to the relevant surcharges applicable to the area. They will ultimately decide whether or not the retaining wall can accommodate the load.
I just want to get a rough idea of how much of a influence my loadings will have. The retaining wall has active anchors, does this imply the that the passive soil pressure against wall (as it is being "pulled" into the soil) is a function of the tension the cables have in them?
Kind regards
