Features: This book is a collaborative effort by several experts from the China Railway Second Survey and Design Group and Southwest Jiaotong University. Over the years, they have conducted highly effective research in the field of retaining structures and have undertaken numerous design tasks, accumulating extensive research achievements and engineering practical experience. This book is based on this foundation. It provides a comprehensive introduction to a wide range of newly applied retaining structures, reflecting the latest achievements in engineering design and the new content in relevant design codes. This includes load-transfer retaining walls, cantilever retaining walls, and counterfort retaining walls, as well as anchored plate retaining walls, anchor retaining walls, reinforced earth retaining walls, soil nail walls, anti-slide piles, pile-supported retaining walls derived from anti-slide piles, and pile-supported beam retaining walls. Additionally, it covers prestressed anchor cable reinforcement technology and vegetation protection technology. For each type of structure, the book introduces structural characteristics and application conditions, load and structural internal force calculations, structural strength and stability design, construction requirements, design precautions, and engineering examples. The book not only presents design theory and methods but also includes numerous design examples for reference, making it comprehensive and highly practical. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in retaining structure design in railway, highway, and construction engineering, as well as for relevant students, teachers, and researchers.
