Literature Review On Structural And Hydraulic Analysis And Design Of Retaining Walls For Flood Mitigation

Abstract

Floods Are Increasingly Frequent And Destructive Due To Urbanization, Climate Change, And Unpredictable Rainfall, Making Effective Flood Management Essential. Retaining Walls In Flood-prone Areas Must Resist Not Only Earth Pressure But Also Hydrostatic, Dynamic, And Seepage Forces That Are Often Neglected In Conventional Designs. This Study Focuses On The Integrated Structural And Hydraulic Design Of Retaining Walls To Ensure Stability Against Sliding, Overturning, And Foundation Failure Under Combined Loading Conditions. It Considers Key Factors Such As Soil Properties, Wall Geometry, Drainage Systems, And Surcharge Loads, Along With The Use Of Advanced Tools Like STAAD.Pro For Accurate Analysis. The Outcome Provides Efficient, Safe, And Sustainable Design Solutions For Retaining Walls To Enhance Resilience And Protect Infrastructure In Flood-affected Regions.
