    Models for structural analysis are needed in order to design safe and reliable soil-retaining structures. This study evaluates numerical models, mostly based on finite element techniques. This book provides a frame of reference for verification and validation of these models.

    Design methodology; development of models for structural analysis; soil mechanics and groundwater flow; block revetments; flexible retaining walls; bored tunnels in soft soil; conclusions and recommendations.
