Land reclamation without using soil-fills by Yeo, Eng Swee

“…It is found that an average undrained shear strength of seabed needed for a free standing cantilever wall resisting 10 m and 20 m of seawater should not be less than 35 kPa and 75 kPa. The retaining wall also has to be embedded 20 m and 35 m in order to support 10 m and 20 m of seawater respectively. …”
