Out of numerous available methods to reduce the lateral earth pressure on the retaining
structures, a retaining wall with relief shelves, though known for more than a few decades, is …

Earth pressure on a retaining wall decides the sectional dimensions of the wall, and there
have been several attempts in the literature to reduce the earth pressures on the retaining …

Various studies of retaining walls with relief shelves tend to rely on the proposition of
reducing soil pressures behind the wall, according to the location and the width of relief …

Retaining wall with relief shelves is being increasingly adopted to provide an economical
and sustainable solution for earth retention purposes. The current study aims to evaluate the …

Retaining walls with pressure relief shelves bring a substantial reduction in lateral earth
pressures acting on these walls, and they have been increasingly used in various …

Retaining wall is a necessity in today's infrastructure development projects. The construction
works at hill sites or when there is difference in elevation of soil exists, earth retaining …

In the present study, effectiveness of EPS geofoam on reduction of lateral earth pressure has
