Abstract


This paper deals about the difference between designing some parts of the retaining walls, multiplicand the actual loads and active confinement pressures by the appropiate load factors (the correct and mandatory method) and the obtaining the bearing pressures, and the design of those parts working with the bearing pressures obtained multiplicand the bearing pressures under service load conditions, by the load factor. The study shows the important difference between the results obtained by means of the two methods.
