Prepared by the Committee on Earth Retaining Structures of the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication provides guidelines for the use of braces and tiebacks during excavations, focusing particularly on safety issues. When an excavation is made in soil or rock, materials adjacent to the cut face lose their natural lateral support. It them becomes necessary to support the excavation with braces and tiebacks, which provide the lateral restraint needed for safety. In addition to assisting engineers make essential safety decisions, this report provides information and conceptual orientation for owners, funding agencies, contractors, and engineering and architectural staff.

Proceedings of the 2010 Earth Retention Conference held in Bellevue, Washington, August 1-4, 2010. Sponsored by the Earth Retaining Structures Committee of the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 93 papers that examine the major developments over the past 20 years in the design and construction practice of earth-retaining structures worldwide. Topics include: supported excavations; mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls; seismic evaluation of retention systems; numerical analyses of retention systems; load and resistance factor design; landslide stabilization.
