Abstract

This report presents a review of the subject of horizontal subgrade reaction as part of the R & D works to revise Geoguide 1: Guide to Retaining Wall Design. In this report, value of soil deformation parameters relevant to wall analysis are derived using two different approaches, viz. the elastic solution approach and back-analysis of published results of passive earth pressure measurements. The results of the comparison exercises carried out to check the derived deformation parameters values are also presented.
