Does anyone know a good reference for limit state design of retaining walls?
 
sdz,

There are ASD and LRFD methods, depending on the wall type. I'm sure that you could perform LSD checks on various elements, but I can't recall a coherent LSD approach for the geotechnical side of things.

csd72, yes I have downloaded that and it is useful. I am also looking for textbook type references.
 
I doubt you will find any.

Good luck.

Prof Mick Pender of Auckland University NZ has run courses with good notes on Limit State design. Try contacting him via the Uni, though I'd heard he was on sabbatical. Still e-mails should be passed on.
