Abstract
Covers the design of singly propped or cantilever walls embedded in stiff overconsolidated clay, and the structural form considered is that installed by the diaphragm wall technique or equivalent process, or by the driving of sheet piles. An introduction to the technique is given, as are formulae and charts for use in calculating lateral earth pressures. Special considerations applying to temporary works design are also considered.
