This British Standard gives recommendations for the design and construction of earth retaining structures to support ground at slopes steeper than the ground would naturally assume. It provides non-contradictory, complementary information for use in conjunction with BSEN1997 and its UK National Annex.
Clause4 gives general recommendations for the design and construction of all types of earth retaining structures; Clause5, Clause6, and Clause7 give specific recommendations for the design and construction of gravity walls, semi-gravity walls, and embedded walls (respectively); and Clause8 gives specific recommendations for the design and construction of cofferdams, basements, and strutted excavations.
Annex A gives specific recommendations for the design and construction of deadman anchors.
Annex B gives information about specific geological formations encountered in the UK.
NOTE1 This standard does not cover the design and construction of anchors (other than deadman anchors), for which see BS8081.
NOTE2 This standard does not cover the design and construction of earthworks, for which see BS6031.
NOTE3 This standard does not cover the design and construction of foundations, for which see BS8004.
NOTE4 This standard does not cover the design and construction of maritime works, for which see BS6349.
NOTE5 This standard does not cover the design and construction of earth retaining structures constructed using strengthened or reinforced soil walls, for which see BS8006.
