Hi All
Doing a design for concrete sleeper retaining walls, pretty comfortable with most of the design
But I am curious what deflection limits you've used for concrete sleepers.
AS 3600 gives a limit of L/250 for concrete elements, but AS 3600 is intended mostly for building structures.
ACI...
I've recently designed some soldier pile/ concrete sleeper retaining walls using Brom's method.
Using Coulombs equation for passive pressure and allowing for a wall friction angle of 0.5*Phi gives a much higher kp value than Rankine's.
Based on a previous topic Here
I gathered allowing for wall...
