Check Moment Equilibrium Check Force Equilibrium

The document discusses various failure states for earth retaining structures. It identifies 10 failure states labeled (a) through (k). These include overturning, sliding, overstressing of bending and shear stresses, granular soil issues, anchor system failures, pile bottom movement outward, settlement behind walls, and upward/inward soil movement.
