SF 9001 EARTH PRESSURE AND EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES L T P C
3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE:
At the end of this course, students are expected to analyse and design rigid,
flexible earth retaining structures, slurry supported trenches and deep cuts.
UNIT I EARTH PRESSURE THEORIES 12 Introduction – State of stress in retained soil mass – Earth pressure theories –
Classical and graphical techniques – Active and passive cases – Earth pressure due
to external loads, empirical methods. Wall movement and complex geometry.
UNIT II COMPACTION, DRAINAGE AND STABILITY OF RETAINING 8
STRUCTURES
Retaining structure – Selection of soil parameters - Lateral pressure due to
compaction, strain softening, wall flexibility, drainage arrangements and its
influence. Earth pressure due to earthquake forces – Stability of retaining structure.
UNIT III SHEET PILE WALLS 8
Analysis and design of cantilever and anchored sheet pile walls. Deadman and
continuous anchors.
7
UNIT IV SUPPORTED EXCAVATIONS 8
Lateral pressure on sheeting in braced excavation, stability against piping and bottom
heaving. Earth pressure around tunnel lining, shaft and silos – Soil anchors – Soil
pinning – Soil nailing – Basic design concepts.
UNIT V SLURRY SUPPORTED TRENCHES 9
Basic principles - Diaphragm and bored pile walls – stability Analysis and design –
specification of slurry.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
