This manual provides guidance for the safe design and economical construction of retaining and flood walls. This manual is intended primarily for retaining walls which will be subjected to hydraulic loadings such as flowing water, submergence, wave action, and spray, exposure to chemically contaminated atmosphere, and/or severe climatic conditions. For the design of retaining walls which will not be subjected to hydraulic loadings or severe environmental conditions as described above, TM S-8l8-l may be used for computing the loadings and evaluating the stability of the structure.

The Bengt B Broms Symposium on Geotechnical Engineering was organised to pay tribute to Professor Broms for his outstanding contribution to the advancement of geotechnical engineering. A number of eminent geotechnical engineers and researchers were invited to contribute to this Symposium. This volume is a compilation of 27 invited papers presented at the Symposium, covering the various aspects of geotechnical engineering, with the main focus on pile foundations, excavation and retaining structure, and soil improvement.
