General geotechnical design for retaining wall and cracks prevention, a reappraisal for BS 8110, based on Prof. Kotsovos's theory of CFP (Compressive-force path)

Abstract

The thesis is generally design and of diaphragm retaining wall that goes through several layers of soil by PLAXIS and ReWaRD. After the geotechnical design, the wall structure is designed by current method of design (base on BS 8110) then the transverse reinforcement was re-designed based on the CFP Method of Prof.Kotsovos.
