Types of Retaining Wall

This document discusses different types of retaining walls, including semi-gravity walls, T-shaped walls, mechanically stabilized earth walls, sheet pile walls, and bridge abutments. It also defines isotropic soil mass as homogeneous soil where water or gas can flow equally in any direction, like perfectly aligned glass beads, while anisotropic soil mass has different physical properties depending on the measurement direction.

Isotropic Soil Mass - means that the soil is homogeneous and water (or gas) flow is uninhibited (or equally inhibited)
in any direction. Imagine a media of perfectly aligned spherical glass beads.
Anisotropic Soil Mass - does not have the same physical properties when the direction of measurement is changed.
