At present, the research on retaining walls with relief shelves mainly focuses on translational
displacement mode, and the research on RB mode is less. Using adaptive software, it is …

This article examines the stability of retaining walls with relief shelves compared to the
conventional cantilever wall using limit analysis integrating with the finite element method …

Out of numerous available methods to reduce the lateral earth pressure on the retaining
structures, a retaining wall with relief shelves, though known for more than a few decades, is …

Retaining wall with relief shelves is being increasingly adopted to provide an economical
and sustainable solution for earth retention purposes. The current study aims to evaluate the …

Whenever a need arises to construct a high retaining wall, the construction of a
mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall in a multi-tiered configuration is a viable …

Various studies of retaining walls with relief shelves tend to rely on the proposition of
reducing soil pressures behind the wall, according to the location and the width of relief …

A counterfort–relief shelf composite retaining wall is capable of reducing lateral earth
pressure. With its relief shelf and T-shape variable section beam as tension member, this …

The study presents a novel approach to overcome the height limitations of traditional
cantilever retaining walls by introducing relief shelves which are horizontal reinforced …

Counterweight retaining walls (CRWs) are a variant of gravity-retaining walls that feature a
pressure relief platform (RP) on the backfill side to reduce total earth pressure, offering a …

How to design a sheet pile earth retaining wall with a relieving platform is still a challenging
topic for engineering application, and there are some problems such as mechanical …
