2 2 Earth Retention Systems Focus of Presentation Different Types and Purposes of Earth Retention Systems Design Considerations/Geotechnical Study Apparent Earth Pressure Diagrams Challenges Associated with Earth Retention Systems Types of Earth Retention Systems (Advantages/Disadvantages) Risks Associated with Earth Retention Systems
3 Earth Retention Systems Uses of Earth Retention Systems Excavation Support Grade Separation Bridge Abutments Slope Stabilization Reduction of Lateral Earth Pressures Types of Earth Retaining Structures Fill Walls Cut Walls/Top Down Construction 3
4 Earth Retention Systems Externally Stabilized Walls In-Situ Walls Soldier Piles, Secant/Tangent Piles, Sheet Piles Gravity Walls Reinforced Concrete, Massive Blocks, Gabion Baskets Internally Stabilized Walls Reinforced Soils MSE Walls - Geogrid or Strap Reinforcement In-Situ Reinforcement Soil Nail Walls 4
5 5 Engineering Properties Soil Classification Unit Weight Shear Strength Chemical Properties (Corrosion Potential) Groundwater Conditions Facing Stability Wall Type Selection Earth Retention Systems Wall Design Consideration Basal Heave/Stability
6 Earth Retention Systems Geotechnical Study Determine the Subsurface Stratigraphy Obtain representative soil samples for laboratory testing (strength, chemical, classification, etc.) Measure in-situ properties through field testing Evaluate groundwater levels 6
7 7 Earth Retention Systems FHWA Recommended Soil Boring Layout
8 Earth Retention Systems Results of an Adequate Geotechnical Study More efficient retaining wall design Less construction delays Less construction difficulties (proper construction method and tooling) Prevents unsafe or inadequate wall performance 8
9 Apparent Earth Pressure Diagram (AEP) Equipment for measuring strut load by means of hydraulic jacks Measured brace loads have led to the development of the AEP envelopes by Karl Terzaghi & Ralph Peck. 9 AEP were calculated by dividing measured braced loads by the area of the wall supported by each brace.
10 Apparent Earth Pressure Diagram 10 Experience indicates that the method of constructing a wall can affect the pressures which act on it top down vs. bottom up During the construction of many early braced excavations the top braces failed because the load was higher than what was calculated. We know that pressure increases with depth against many types of walls, but this is not the case against braced and tied-back walls. Pressures behind braced and tied-back walls build up quicker because soils are not allowed to develop active pressures like a traditional cantilevered walls.

16 Challenges Associated with Earth Retention Systems Settlement of Adjacent Buildings, Streets and/or Utilities High Water Table Poor soil conditions (Soft/Organic clays, loose sands and silts, etc.) Obstructions (i.e. utilities, footings, etc.) 16
17 Earth Retention Systems Earth Retention System Selection is based on: Excavation Height Movement Tolerance Project Budget ($$) Geology/Soils Water Table Elevation Site Constraints 17
18 Types of Earth Retention Systems Soldier Beam and Lagging Advantages Generally one of the cheapest types of Earth Retention Systems Installation goes quickly Can be installed with minimal vibrations (drilled) Can work around utilities and structures 18 Disadvantages Can be difficult to install in granular soils No water cut-off Exposes soil during lagging installation
19 Types of Earth Retention Systems Soldier Beam and Lagging 19 One Tier Multi Tier
20 Types of Earth Retention Systems Soldier Beam Installation Methods 20 Drilled Driven
21 Types of Earth Retention Systems Lagging Installation Lagging Typically Installed in 5 ft. Lifts 21 Soldier Beams with Shotcrete Lagging
22 Types of Earth Retention Systems Cantilevered Soldier Beam and Lagging 22
23 Types of Earth Retention Systems 23 Soil Nails Soil Nailing is an in situ technique for reinforcing, stabilizing and retaining excavations and deep cuts through the introduction of relatively small, closely spaced inclusions (usually steel bars) into a soil mass, the face of which is then locally stabilized. A zone of reinforced ground results that functions as a soil retention system.
24 Types of Earth Retention Systems Soil Nails 24 Performed top-down via successive bench cuts
25 Types of Earth Retention Systems Soil Nails 25 Advantages Installation happens with excavation Usually the most cost effective per square foot Shotcrete face can be sculpted for architectural finish Minimal vibrations Disadvantages Works best in cohesive soils that have good stand-up time Passive system so deflections are higher than other systems Requires close coordination between installer and excavator
26 Types of Earth Retention Systems Soil Nails Temporary Wall Permanent Wall 26

28 Soil Nails Shotcrete Finishes Screed Finish 28
29 Soil Nails Shotcrete Finishes Stamped Finish 29
30 Soil Nails Shotcrete Finishes Sculpted Finishes 30
31 Types of Earth Retention Systems Sheet Piling Advantages Works in almost all soil conditions Readily Available from multiple suppliers Prevents soil loss during excavation Can minimize water infiltration Can be re-used 31 Disadvantages Tough installation through stiff/dense soils Steel is expensive Vibrations during installation
32 Types of Earth Retention Systems Sheet Piling Installation Methods Newest, modern system for Sheet Pile Installation Installs very quickly and safely Limited to installing 30 from face of structure Length of sheeting limited Hydraulic Press No Vibration 32
33 Types of Earth Retention Systems Sheet Piling Installation Methods 33 Multipiler Excavator-mounted vibratory hammer Can work in low headroom conditions Generally very slow compared to ABI Crane Old system for Sheet Pile Installation Can install almost any length Can reach for installation Much slower than ABI Requires templates
34 Types of Earth Retention Systems Tangent/Secant and Slurry Walls 34 Advantages Can be built as very stiff system (reduced deflections) Can be designed to carry large vertical loads Good water control Works in almost all soils Disadvantages Generally very expensive compared to other earth retention systems Slow installation Requires more equipment and large setup area Wale installation difficult
35 Types of Earth Retention Systems Secant Wall - Installation 35 Holes are drilled in a primary/secondary pattern Hole grouted during removal of auger Reinforcement may be placed in the hole
36 Types of Earth Retention Systems Tangent Wall Gap Between Piers Tiebacks 36
