Chapter 10. Hydraulic Failure 185

This document provides guidance on analyzing the stability of retaining structures and earthworks according to EN 1997-1. It covers limit state design for ultimate and serviceability limit states. Chapter 9 addresses displacement-based design of retaining walls for vertical loads. Chapter 10 covers hydraulic failure modes, including uplift, heave, internal erosion, and piping. Chapter 11 discusses overall stability analysis of slopes and cuts. Chapter 12 presents considerations for embankment design, construction, and monitoring. The document provides examples to illustrate the limit state design methods.
