Significance of output:
The reduction in bending moments resulting from wall flexibility brings economies in the design and construction of embedded retaining walls, but historically has had to be accounted for either empirically or by means of a full soil-structure interaction analysis. This research developed a new theoretical approach for propped embedded retaining walls, interpreted in the context of modern design methods; and identified the appropriate dimensionless group characterising relative soil/wall stiffness effects, and threshold values of this group for different soil types and conditions below which the wall may be regarded as stiff.
