Abstract
To design a routine low-height cantilever retaining wall,
several databases are generated in this study including the
topographical drawing of Taiwan, standard profiles and
details of a series of selected retaining walls, data for design
interpolation, information about existing retaining walls, etc.
How to create usable databases and to interpolate them to
meet engineering requirements are two important subjects
being studied. Those created data represent a central pool,
which can serve to fulfill the requirement of a complete
retaining wall design from a remote personal computer by
WWW techniques. Thus, via the transformation of alphanumerical
data, as well as images, the information can be
obtained from the generated databases in this study,
including the optimized dimensions of a wall in a design, the
required additional forces for reinforcing an existing wall to
satisfy a design, and the status of those local existing walls at
any specified spot in the country.
