Design and construction of an Anchored Earth Wall at Annan: Performance of Reinforced Soil Structures, British Geotechnical Society

The paper describes the design, construction and early performance of an anchored earth retaining wall built on the Annan Bypas (A75). The wall, which was up to 7m in height, was backfilled with a clayey till and anchored back with 1.0m diameter concrete half discs. The anchors were connected to 'window-box' facing units by continuous loops of a polymeric strap. Data obtained from both laboratory tests and field monitoring are presented in the paper.
