Tiedback walls
Abstract
Tiebacks, which are anchored in the soil behind a wall, are frequently used to resist all or most of the earth pressure acting on that wall. This is the most obvious and most often used application of tiebacks. Engineers generally agree that failure of this type of wall results in movements of a wedge of soil, similar to the wedge shown in Figure 10.1 .
