Pullout behaviour of anchor block under saturated and unsaturated soil conditions / Adnan Derahman

There have been many cases of wall failure by bulging. The potential causes of this type of wall failure are might due to the over-estimate the shear strength at the lower part of wall, the influence of a hydrostatic pressure at lower part of the retaining wall and the soil in the retaining wall tra...
