Retaining Different Level Terraces

Retaining Different Level Terraces

Retaining Different Level Terraces

(OP)
Hi All,

I am currently working on a project In which we want to retain a different levels of terraces system,We plan to do so by a system of gravity walls (each wall is at a level higher than the next one).Would you Please provide me with any source\advice about how to make an accurate design of this system?

Thank you,

RE: Retaining Different Level Terraces

Have you had experience in global stability analyses? If not, then that is a first step before doing the individual wall designs. Other than giving reference texts for how to do those analyses, I don't think this forum is set up for short design courses, etc. Given more details, it may be possible to provide points to consider in your design process. Can you post a photo or a cross section drawing?

RE: Retaining Different Level Terraces

In addition to providing a sketch, what is your backgorund in earth retention analysis? For example, are you comfortable with the various earth pressure theories, surcharge calculations, etc? Have you done 3 retaining structures or 50+ projects? Can you model and solve a terraced geometry slope on a slope stability software? Once we know where you are, we can meet you there and provide you additional guidance.
