Embedded Retaining Walls - Guidance for Economic Design

CIRIA Funder's Report CP96 was issued to the core members of CIRIA in March 2002. It is now, or will shortly be, available to a wider audience. This note describes the background to this research project and details the objectives, intended readership and applicability of the resulting report. The report particularly addresses the subject of economic design, and some of the key recommendations are noted below.
