Study of Trapezoidal Shaped Retaining Wall with Varying Geometric Parameters

Abstract

Abstract

Retaining walls play a critical role in the protection of structures from damage related to soil collapse, but many property holders are unconscious of just how integral these walls are to the overall health of their property. Properly constructed and well maintained retaining walls not only mitigate soil erosion and wash-out after excavation, but also keep soil from collapsing. Soil collapse can put your structure at risk for damage and any by standers in physical hazard, so it’s vital to maintain your retaining walls properly, and to understand their role in the protection of your structures. In India generally concrete retaining walls are in use. Even the concrete type retaining walls proves best over the other type of retaining walls it have some limitations on its geometric parameters .This research aims to Study of Trapezoidal Shaped Retaining Wall with Varying Geometric Parameters. It will also help for the estimation of the quantity of the material required and to determine its cost which can also help in comparative study of folded plates and simple retaining structure with ease.
