ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF REINFORCED EARTH RETAINING WALLS BY PROBABILISTIC APPROACH

As the study of design loads and structural material as design parameters need much effort for the proper estimation of these parameters, and in order to improve the irrationality of the present allowable stress method, a new design method has been developed using the probability theory to improve the logical weakness of the conventional safety concept by treating the design parameters of reinforced earth structures. An example for the design of reinforced earth retaining walls is also reported in the paper. (TRRL)
