Abstract

Implements the relevant parts of BS 8002 Annex B and CIRIA report 104 but adopts limit state principles, compatible with BS 5400. It extends the scope of CIRIA report 104 to include walls embedded in firm clay and granular materials. The standard includes steel sheet piled walls in aggressive and non-aggressive environments (as classified in tables 5.1 and 5.2), concrete diaphragm walls and various forms of concrete piled walls. Embedded walls which are unpropped, propped or anchored at either the top or at excavation level, and doubly-propped/anchored are covered. This standard includes requirements for reinforcement of cast-in-place embedded retaining walls.
