This Standard sets out requirements and recommendations relating to the design and construction of structures required to retain soil, rock and other materials. It also includes requirements and recommendations for the reinforcement of soil and rock materials. This Standard does not prescribe specific methods of analysis.NOTE: Various organizations and authorities may develop detailed guides and specifications based on the principles set out in this Standard.This Standard is in limit state format.This Standard does not provide requirements and recommendations for ‘revetment type’ structures, which are sometimes used to retain soil, rock and other materials at slopes steeper than that which the soil, rock or other material would naturally assume.The retaining structures encompassed by this Standard are indicated in Figure 1.1.
