Anchored earth breast wall for a site in the sub-Himalayan region
Abstract
The Anchored Earth technique using Semi-Z shaped mild steel anchors has been well established for cohesive soil backfills. An application for a breast wall in the sub-Himalayan region made in a slide-prone area having a backfill with little cohesion was bodily dislocated and damaged due to the slide becoming Suddenlyactive following an abnormally wet six day period during the last monsoons. A conceptualised “Combined System” design for the same structure has now been based on the present experience.
