TL;DR: In this article, a revised method is proposed for the analysis and design of cantilever retaining walls in homogeneous cohesionless soil, which is based on assumed linear pressure distributions but does not require the artificial simplifications inherent in those methods.
Abstract: A revised method is proposed for the analysis and design of cantilever retaining walls in homogeneous cohesionless soil. Like the current limit-state design methods, the revised method is based on assumed linear pressure distributions but does not require the artificial simplifications inherent in those methods. Furthermore, these pressure distributions provide equilibrium without being directly dependent on assumed limit states in the passive earth support regions. They are dependent, however, on one empirical parameter for which a suitable value is determined, from the results of centrifuge model tests, within very narrow limits. The revised method gives critical depths of excavation closer to those observed in centrifuge tests than the current methods, and it is shown to yield complete bending moment distributions, with magnitude and position of maximum bending moments reasonable close to those observed. Finally, simple equations and design curves are presented to facilitate safe design, their use is illustrated with a typical example, and comparisons are made with the current methods.

TL;DR: In this article, a laboratory study of cantilever failure was carried out using two types of materials to form overhanging banks with three different densities, and the results showed that the occurrence of toppling failures is more probable than the simple shear-type mechanism that has been analyzed most frequently by prior researchers.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element analysis was conducted to verify the performance of 3D finite element models in predicting wall displacements and results indicated that the use of the Mohr-Coulomb model with the soil modulus obtained from in-situ dilatometers for loose to medium dense sands yields reasonable predictions of the excavation-induced wall displacement.
