Title: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TWO LOW RETAINING WALL SYSTEMS RESTRAINED BY SOIL NAIL ANCHORS
Accession Number: 00643504
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Case histories relating to the design and construction of two low retaining wall systems are presented. Both cases involve a wall that retains a relatively steep slope at the top of the wall, use near-horizontal soil anchors as lateral restraint, and feature a modular face connected to the anchors with geogrids. At one of the sites, the retaining system was installed to secure a failing wall, and installation of the soil nail anchors was effected with small power tools. At the second site, the slope profile had previously been trimmed to a vertical face. Horizontal restraint was provided by screw plate anchors to accommodate the close-by property boundary. Both walls have proved satisfactory in service.
