Retaining Wall Failure due to Poor Construction and Design Aspects A Case Study

Abstract

A retaining wall which is the subject of this paper collapsed without any indication on May 25, 2006 at city center of Kahramanmaras, Turkey. While there were no life losses, a building was severely deformed and damaged. Just after the failure of the retaining wall an investigation carried out locally provided relevant results concerning the quality of the materials used in the construction of the wall. Detailing the reinforcement is crucial in reinforced concrete structure as it affects the rigidity of the structure. The consequent studies have shown that the failure has taken place primarily due to low material quality and poor workmanship. There was also design of project errors. Furthermore, the design and construction were not made in accordance with the TS 7984 Turkish standard. Key Words: Retaining Wall, Failure Analysis, Poor Construction and Design
