Abstract: The flat area at the front tongue of a historical landslide site was selected to be a storage yard of sand and other coarse aggregate. The surcharge load might potentially result in the excessive compressive of the soil behind the wall and cause shear failure of the retaining wall. The ground anchored retaining with drainage and monitoring measures was selected as the design scheme. The stability analysis as well as the monitoring during the site operation indicates that the anchored retaining wall design was a success.
