Abstract

Methods and results of a field study of the structural performance of a flexible anchored bulkhead are presented in this paper. The bulkhead retains a 55-ft height of fine sand hydraulic fill in Long Beach Harbor, California. A coarse granular dike extends for half the height on both inside and outside. Instrumentation was provided for the measurement of soil pressure, pore pressure, tie-rod tension, and deflection during and after the filling operation.
