摘要：Retaining Walls are the structures which with stand the lateral earth pressure exerted by water pressure,surcharge loads and self-weight of the wall. Retaining walls are constructed to support almost vertical (steeper than 70degrees) or vertical slopes of earth masses. In recent years, with the rapid development of highways, instability ofretaining walls to cause embankment landslides has become common. When the height of retaining wall is greater thanthe 20 ft (6m) they are employed into the critical application these types of walls are built in multi-tire retaining wall.As the heavy traffic demands have lead to widening of existing roadways to indulge the increased traffic volume.However additional right of way is uneconomical and limited space is available at the site location; construction ofearth retaining walls is often done under a constrained space. The use of tired walls will become necessary when theheight of wall is greater than 6m. This study represents the results of the GEO5of a series of tiered walls with variousoffset distance.
