The use of time domain reflectometry probes for the moisture monitoring of a drilled shaft retaining wall in expansive clay
Currently there is no consensus on how to account for the lateral earth pressures when designing drilled shaft retaining walls in expansive clay soils. Typically an equivalent fluid pressure is assumed which can range from 40 psf/ft to over 100 psf/ft. The range of assumptions currently in use can...
