Proc. Instn Civ. Engrs, Part 1,1988,84, June, 519-538 9306 GROUP ENGINEERING GROUND Conventional retainingwalls :pilot and full-scale studies I. F. SYMONS, MSc, MICE, MIHT* R. T. MURRAY, BSc, PhD, MICE, MIHT* This Paper reviews results from a series of pilot and full-scale investigations carried out by the Transport andRoad Research Laboratory (TRRL)to study the earthpressures acting on conventional retaining walls. The work encompasses a range of backfill materials and structural forms. It is shown that compaction of the backfill can result in high lateral pressures over the upper part of the structure on completion of filling and that further changes in lateral stress can result from seasonal effects in service...
