Course Title
Earth Retaining Structures
Description
Introduction to classical lateral earth pressure theories. Students will apply soil mechanics principles to the design and analysis of earth retaining structures. Design and analysis of cantilever retaining (concrete and steel) walls as well as braced excavations are studied. Segmental retaining wall (SRW) systems are also covered in this course.
