EMBEDDED RETAINING WALL LIMIT STATE ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO EUROCODE 7

The paper deals with the problem of criteria for choosing the proposed calculation approaches in Eurocode 7 with respect to current technical regulations and regular engineering practice. A new procedure for the implementation of a systematic analysis and mutual comparison of different project approaches is proposed. Parametric analysis of embedded retaining wall limit states is performed. Combining of partial coefficients, according to proposed design approach, results in a visible wide span of equivalent values of the safety factor. Conclusions and recommendations tied to the application of the optimal calculation method are also given as well as the original mode of the analysis results.
