2. Retaining wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retaining_wall

   An anchored retaining wall can be constructed in any of the aforementioned styles but also includes additional strength using cables or other stays anchored in the rock or soil behind it. Usually driven into the material with boring, anchors are then expanded at the end of the cable, either by mechanical means or often by injecting pressurized ...

3. Tieback (geotechnical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieback_(geotechnical)

   Typically in the form of a horizontal wire or rod, or a helical anchor, a tieback is commonly used along with other retaining systems (e.g. soldier piles, sheet piles, secant and tangent walls) to provide additional stability to cantilevered retaining walls. [1]

4. Earth anchor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_anchor

   Single helix earth anchors Guyed mast anchor. An earth anchor is a device designed to support structures, most commonly used in geotechnical and construction applications. Also known as a ground anchor, percussion driven earth anchor or mechanical anchor, it may be impact driven into the ground or run in spirally, depending on its design and intended force-resistance characteristics.

5. Larssen sheet piling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larssen_sheet_piling

   Anchored Wall Design- Bending moments, shears, and anchor force are calculated under the assumption that the wall is a beam with simple supports at the anchor elevation and at the bottom of the wall (the place where the wall moves beneath the surface of the ground.

6. Mechanically stabilized earth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_stabilized_earth

   The wall face is often of precast, segmental blocks, panels or geocells that can tolerate some differential movement. The walls are infilled with granular soil, with or without reinforcement, while retaining the backfill soil. Reinforced walls utilize horizontal layers typically of geogrids. The reinforced soil mass, along with the facing ...

7. Caisson (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(engineering)

   Schematic cross section of a pressurized caisson. In geotechnical engineering, a caisson (/ ˈ k eɪ s ən,-s ɒ n /; borrowed from French caisson 'box', from Italian cassone 'large box', an augmentative of cassa) is a watertight retaining structure [1] used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, [2] or for the repair of ships.
