Actions on Retaining Walls: Thrust - Support - Water - Profile

This lecture covers the different types of actions on retaining walls, including active and passive states with and without water, as well as the effects of uniform surcharge and point loads. It also discusses the calculation of forces and stresses in the walls, considering various scenarios and conditions. The presentation delves into the concept of stability, the impact of cohesion, and the formation of cracks under tension, providing a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of retaining structures.
