Cantilever retaining wall with pressure relief shelves is considered as a special type of retaining wall. The concept of providing pressure relief shelves on the backfill side of a retaining wall reduces the total earth pressure on the wall, which results in a reduced thickness of the wall and ultimately in an economic design of a cantilever wall. A limited number of solutions and measurements can be found for this type of wall in the literature. The shapes of the measured earth pressure distributions differ among studies because the model scales were different; for example, the wall during one measurement was permitted to move but was not permitted to move in the other measurements. This paper presents a Finite Element analysis of this type of wall using PLAXIS2D-AE.01. The reduced total active earth pressure due to the provisioning of shelves is depicted. It was found that the shelves had a significant effect on the resulting earth pressure distribution. The distribution approximately followed the distribution of the solution by Klein (Calculation of retaining walls (in Russian). Vysshaya Shkola, Moscow, 2014). It also followed the shape of the measurements of Yakovlev (Experimental investigation of earth pressure on walls with two platforms in the case of breaking loads relieving on the backfill. Odessa Institute of Naval Engineers, pp 7–9, 1974). A parametric study was conducted to enable a discussion of the effects of the number of shelves, shelf rigidity, and shelf position on the resulting distribution of the lateral earth pressure, wall top movement, and acting maximum flexural moment of the wall. For high retaining walls and for some repair systems for constructed walls that have problems with stability, it is recommended to provide the cantilever wall with a shelf at a third of the wall height from the top of the wall or more shelves at different levels. Suggested updates are provided to enhance the manual solution of Klein in the calculation of the acting maximum bending moment of the wall.
