This work aims to be a contribution for a better knowledge of anchored earth retaining structures, providing preliminary guidelines for their correct design, by establishing starting points. It also constitutes the introduction to a second paper in which an innovative solution for preliminary design is presented. Starting from an extensive parametric st...
View ArticleIn a companion paper, an extensive parametric study regarding anchored retaining structures was presented, contributing to better understand the behaviour and most relevant parameters regarding their design. Based on those results, a novel and simple methodology for preliminary design is presented, providing an alternative procedure for preliminary desi...
View ArticleThe Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is often used to estimate the soil parameters for geotechnical design projects, using the NSPT index. However, these estimates are performed based on empirical correlations without any scientific basis. Moreover, the test has a large inherent results dispersion due to the us...
View ArticleUrban excavations are frequently performed using anchored retaining walls. Overall stability is an important stability verification in such walls and is significantly influenced by geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the wall, of the anchors and of the soil. In the present work, particular emphasis is given to the role of the embedded length i...
