Abstract - This paper presents the results of Static analysis and Design of retaining wall with and without shelves. Cantilever
retaining wall with pressure relief shelves is considered as a special type ofretainingwall. Theconceptofprovidingpressurerelief
shelves on the backfill side of a R.C.C retaining wall reduces the total earth pressure on the wall, which results in a reduced
thickness of the wall and ultimately in an economic design of a cantilever wall. The conclusions in this thesis drawn based on the
discussion and results obtained analytically and using Staad-Pro. model study. The pressure distribution diagram changes much
due to addition of shelves. The pressure relief shelves have been extend up to the failure plane to achieve the stability of the
structure. In practice, there is limitation of using more number of shelves, butuptothreeshelvemaybeusedeconomicallyforhigh
retaining walls. It is also observed that, the average saving in cost of construction is 15% to 25% by the provision of relief shelves
over the conventional cantilever retaining wall. Analytical results of activeearthpressure, nodalreactions, andbendingmoments
with pressure relief shelves have been close agreement with the Staad-Pro. Software result.
Key Words: Special retaining wall, Relief shelves, Earth pressure, Stability of wall, Bearing pressure,Overturningmomentand
bending moment.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. General
Retaining walls are generally built to hold back soil mass. Retaining walls are structures that are constructed to retain such
materials which are unable to stand vertically by themselves. They are also provided to maintain thegroundsattwodifferent
levels. The study in this thesis is carried out mainly for improvisation of the 'retaining structure' as it is an indispensable
features of civil construction projects, especially all types of bridges, high walls in hilly terrain, etc. with suitable type, proper
design and reasonable estimation. A retaining wall with pressure relief shelve is uncommon type of retaining wall. The
pressure relief shelf towards the backfill side of retaining wall reduces the total earth pressure onthestemwall whichresults
in increasing the overall stability of wall. The less material goes into the stem wall due to provision of shelves to the retaining
wall and some material acts vertically on the pressure relieving shelves and ultimately this result into the economical design.
1.2. Objective of Case Study
1. To analyze and design the modal retaining wall with and without shelf by Conventional Method.
2. To compare the results obtained from analysis and design of retaining wall with and without shelf and discuss the results.
3. To analyze of modal retaining wall with and without shelf using Software. Cost comparison betweenretainingwall withand
without shelf.
4. To make the retaining wall stable so that soil bearing pressure gives equal pressure distribution on both sides.

3. METHODOLOGY
3.1. Analysis and Design of cantilever Retaining wall without shelves:
This chapter concerned with stability of the cantilever retaining wall without shelves. The stability check for cantilever
retaining wall without shelves is very important to study. The principle of design of cantilever retaining wall withoutshelves,
various forces are acting on structure and the stability of cantilever retaining wall should be checked for sliding, overturning,
bearing capacity failure, and tension has been explained below,
1. No Sliding: The retaining wall must be safe against sliding. The factor of safety against sliding must be greater than 1.5. In
other words, µ Rv > Rh, where Rv and Rh are vertical and horizontal component of R respectively & µ isfrictionfactorbetween
wall base and foundation soil.
2. No Overturning: The retaining wall must be safe against overturning about toe. The factor of safety against overturning
must be greater than 2.
3. No Bearing capacity failure:The pressure caused by Rv at the toe of the wall must not exceed the allowable bearing
capacity of the soil. The pressure distribution at base is assumed to be linear.
4. No Tension: There should be no tension at the base of the wall. When the eccentricity (e) is greater than B/6, tension
develops at the heel.

3.2. Analysis and Design of cantilever Retaining wall with shelves: (Reducing its dimension up to some extent)
This chapter deals with the analysis and design of retaining wall with single shelve, and analysis of retaining wall with multi
shelves. The results of analysis and design of retaining wall with shelves has been discussedinthischapter. Theshelveshould
be extend up to the failure plane for achieving economy and stable structure. The pressure relief shelvesdividethesoil in two
parts and it is used to reduce the active earth pressure force. Hencewecanreducethe overturning momentdueto backfill soil.
The position of pressure relief shelves on stem wall and width of pressure relief shelves can decide the economical andstable
structure.
A simple problem of cantilever retaining wall with and without shelves is explained. Basics of bending moment calculation
shall be explained in this chapter.

Discussion on the results:
Case 1: Cantilever retaining wall without shelves.
Case 2: Retaining wall with pressure relief shelves.
(Reducing its dimensions up to some extent)
Case 3: Retaining wall with pressure relief shelves.
(Reducing its dimensions up maximum extent)
It is observed that, the eccentricity has been increased in third case (0.36 m) as compared to first case (0.05 m) and
second case (0.09 m) as in first case the soil bearing pressure at toe side and heel side has been nearly equal, and in third case
the soil bearing pressure at toe and heel side are changes by large amount. Less eccentricity give economical structure.
The active earth pressure force has been reduced to half (54.38 KN/m) in case of retaining wall with shelves as compared to
cantilever retaining wall as less material goes on stem wall due to provision of pressure relief shelves on backfill side of
retaining wall.
It is observed that the given retaining wall without shelves and retaining wall with shelves are safe in sliding andoverturning
as the factor of safety in sliding and factor of safety in overturning are exceeded the limiting values. In retaining wall with
shelves, the factor of safety in overturning is more than cantilever retaining wall without shelves as the overturning moment
gets reduced due to less backfill soil material goes on stem wall and restoring moment has been increased due to increasing
backfill soil load on heel slab and increasing self weight of wall.
4. ANALYSIS OF RETAINING WALL WITH AND WITHOUT SHELVE USING STAAD-PRO SOFTWARE
In this chapter, the retaining wall with and without shelves are analyzed using Staad-Pro. structural software in which
retaining wall is prepared using plate element. Staad-Pro gives better and accurate results for analysis of retaining wall with
and without shelves. The loading conditions are acted on retaining wall such as lateral load of soil on stem wall, vertical load
on heel slab and shelve, vertically acted soil bearing pressure etc. are shown in model. Fixed supportconditionhasbeengiven
to the junction of stem wall and base slab. The results of analysis of retaining wall with and without shelve in Staad-Pro.
gives nodal reactions, plate stresses and bendingmoment.

4.1. Compare the results obtained Manually and using Stadd-Pro
Table No. 5: Comparison of manual and staad-pro results of retaining
Discussions on the results:
It is observed that, the joint reactions calculated manually are close agreement with the staad-pro results in case of retaining
wall with and without shelves. Its means that, the retaining wall is stable and the summations of all the forces across the joint
are balance with each other.
The overturning moment calculated manually for stem wall iscloseagreementwiththestaad-pro.results.Thebendingmoment
calculated manually for pressure relief shelf is nearly equal to the staad-pro result.
For load combination, the total vertical reactions are balanced at the joint and the total vertical reaction is found to be 0 KN.
5. CONCLUSIONS
1. The manual results of bending moment of retaining wall with and without shelve havetobecloseagreementwithStaad-Pro.
Results
2. The pressure distribution diagram changes substantially due to addition of shelves. To have optimum reduction in active
earth pressure force the shelve should have width up to the failure plane.
4. The maximum active earth pressure force reduction is obtained between location H/3 to2H/3.Themaximumvalueofactive
earth pressure force is considerably found at H/2 height.
5. The overturning moment get reduced due to provision of relief shelves.
6. The concrete and steel is reduced by providing relief shelve to the cantilever retaining wall.
7. It is also observed that the saving in cost of construction is 15% to 25% by the provision of relief shelves over the
conventional cantilever retaining wall. There is 35% saving in concrete and 11% saving in steel.

Cantilever retaining wall with pressure relief shelves is considered as a special type ofretainingwall. Theconceptofprovidingpressurerelief shelves on the backfill side of a R.C.C retaining wall reduces the total earth pressure on the wall, which results in a reduced thickness of the wall and ultimately in an economic design of a cantilever wall. The conclusions in this thesis drawn based on the discussion and results obtained analytically and using Staad-Pro. model study. The pressure distribution diagram changes much due to addition of shelves. The pressure relief shelves have been extend up to the failure plane to achieve the stability of the structure. In practice, there is limitation of using more number of shelves, butuptothreeshelvemaybeusedeconomicallyforhigh retaining walls. It is also observed that, the average saving in cost of construction is 15% to 25% by the provision of relief shelves over the conventional cantilever retaining wall. Analytical results of activeearthpressure, nodalreactions, andbendingmoments with pressure relief shelves have been close agreement with the Staad-Pro. Software result.

General Retaining walls are generally built to hold back soil mass. Retaining walls are structures that are constructed to retain such materials which are unable to stand vertically by themselves. They are also provided to maintain thegroundsattwodifferent levels. The study in this thesis is carried out mainly for improvisation of the 'retaining structure' as it is an indispensable features of civil construction projects, especially all types of bridges, high walls in hilly terrain, etc. with suitable type, proper design and reasonable estimation. A retaining wall with pressure relief shelve is uncommon type of retaining wall. The pressure relief shelf towards the backfill side of retaining wall reduces the total earth pressure onthestemwall whichresults in increasing the overall stability of wall. The less material goes into the stem wall due to provision of shelves to the retaining wall and some material acts vertically on the pressure relieving shelves and ultimately this result into the economical design. 1.2. Objective of Case Study 1. To analyze and design the modal retaining wall with and without shelf by Conventional Method. 2. To compare the results obtained from analysis and design of retaining wall with and without shelf and discuss the results. 3. To analyze of modal retaining wall with and without shelf using Software. Cost comparison betweenretainingwall withand without shelf. 4. To make the retaining wall stable so that soil bearing pressure gives equal pressure distribution on both sides. 2.

Analysis and Design of cantilever Retaining wall without shelves: This chapter concerned with stability of the cantilever retaining wall without shelves. The stability check for cantilever retaining wall without shelves is very important to study. The principle of design of cantilever retaining wall withoutshelves, various forces are acting on structure and the stability of cantilever retaining wall should be checked for sliding, overturning, bearing capacity failure, and tension has been explained below, 1. No Sliding: The retaining wall must be safe against sliding. The factor of safety against sliding must be greater than 1.5. In other words, µ Rv > Rh, where Rv and Rh are vertical and horizontal component of R respectively & µ isfrictionfactorbetween wall base and foundation soil. 2. No Overturning: The retaining wall must be safe against overturning about toe. The factor of safety against overturning must be greater than 2. 3. No Bearing capacity failure:The pressure caused by Rv at the toe of the wall must not exceed the allowable bearing capacity of the soil. The pressure distribution at base is assumed to be linear. 4. No Tension: There should be no tension at the base of the wall. When the eccentricity (e) is greater than B/6, tension develops at the heel.

Case 2: Retaining wall with pressure relief shelves. (Reducing its dimensions up to some extent) Case 3: Retaining wall with pressure relief shelves. (Reducing its dimensions up maximum extent) It is observed that, the eccentricity has been increased in third case (0.36 m) as compared to first case (0.05 m) and second case (0.09 m) as in first case the soil bearing pressure at toe side and heel side has been nearly equal, and in third case the soil bearing pressure at toe and heel side are changes by large amount. Less eccentricity give economical structure. The active earth pressure force has been reduced to half (54.38 KN/m) in case of retaining wall with shelves as compared to cantilever retaining wall as less material goes on stem wall due to provision of pressure relief shelves on backfill side of retaining wall. It is observed that the given retaining wall without shelves and retaining wall with shelves are safe in sliding andoverturning as the factor of safety in sliding and factor of safety in overturning are exceeded the limiting values. In retaining wall with shelves, the factor of safety in overturning is more than cantilever retaining wall without shelves as the overturning moment gets reduced due to less backfill soil material goes on stem wall and restoring moment has been increased due to increasing backfill soil load on heel slab and increasing self weight of wall. 4. ANALYSIS OF RETAINING WALL WITH AND WITHOUT SHELVE USING STAAD-PRO SOFTWARE In this chapter, the retaining wall with and without shelves are analyzed using Staad-Pro. structural software in which retaining wall is prepared using plate element. Staad-Pro gives better and accurate results for analysis of retaining wall with and without shelves. The loading conditions are acted on retaining wall such as lateral load of soil on stem wall, vertical load on heel slab and shelve, vertically acted soil bearing pressure etc. are shown in model. Fixed supportconditionhasbeengiven to the junction of stem wall and base slab. The results of analysis of retaining wall with and without shelve in Staad-Pro. gives nodal reactions, plate stresses and bendingmoment.

Compare the results obtained Manually and using Stadd-Pro Table No. 5: Comparison of manual and staad-pro results of retaining Discussions on the results: It is observed that, the joint reactions calculated manually are close agreement with the staad-pro results in case of retaining wall with and without shelves. Its means that, the retaining wall is stable and the summations of all the forces across the joint are balance with each other. The overturning moment calculated manually for stem wall iscloseagreementwiththestaad-pro.results.Thebendingmoment calculated manually for pressure relief shelf is nearly equal to the staad-pro result. For load combination, the total vertical reactions are balanced at the joint and the total vertical reaction is found to be 0 KN. 5. CONCLUSIONS 1. The manual results of bending moment of retaining wall with and without shelve havetobecloseagreementwithStaad-Pro. Results 2. The pressure distribution diagram changes substantially due to addition of shelves. To have optimum reduction in active earth pressure force the shelve should have width up to the failure plane. 4. The maximum active earth pressure force reduction is obtained between location H/3 to2H/3.Themaximumvalueofactive earth pressure force is considerably found at H/2 height. 5. The overturning moment get reduced due to provision of relief shelves. 6. The concrete and steel is reduced by providing relief shelve to the cantilever retaining wall. 7. It is also observed that the saving in cost of construction is 15% to 25% by the provision of relief shelves over the conventional cantilever retaining wall. There is 35% saving in concrete and 11% saving in steel. SR. No. Parameters Retaining wall without shelves Manually Staad-pro.
