Description

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 BS EN 1997 and its UK National Annex.

Clause 4 gives general recommendations for the design and construction of all types of earth retaining structures; Clause 5, Clause 6, and Clause 7 give specific recommendations for the design and construction of gravity walls, semi-gravity walls, and embedded walls (respectively); and Clause 8 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.

NOTE 1 This standard does not cover the design and construction of anchors (other than deadman anchors), for which see BS 8081.

NOTE 2 This standard does not cover the design and construction of earthworks, for which see BS 6031.

NOTE 3 This standard does not cover the design and construction of foundations, for which see BS 8004.

NOTE 4 This standard does not cover the design and construction of maritime works, for which see BS 6349.
