Retaining and Flood Walls


Book Description

Provides guidance for the safe design and economical construction of retaining walls and inland and coastal flood walls. This manual considers the retaining walls subjected to hydraulic loadings, such as flowing water, submergence, and wave action. It also discusses issues, such as design considerations, forces, and foundation analysis.




Engineering and Design


Book Description

This manual provides guidance for the safe design and economical construction of retaining and flood walls. This manual is intended primarily for retaining walls which will be subjected to hydraulic loadings such as flowing water, submergence, wave action, and spray, exposure to chemically contaminated atmosphere, and/or severe climatic conditions. For the design of retaining walls which will not be subjected to hydraulic loadings or severe environmental conditions as described above, TM S-8l8-l may be used for computing the loadings and evaluating the stability of the structure.
