 Types of retaining wall
• In general retaining wall
can be divided into two
majors category :
– Conventional retaining wall
(Gravity retaining walls,
Semi-gravity retaining
walls, cantilever retaining
walls, counterfort retaining
walls)
– Mechanical retaining wall
 Phases in the design of a
conventional retaining wall
• There are two phases in the design of a
conventional retaining wall :
– With the lateral earth pressure known, the
structure as a whole is checked for stability.
The structure is examine for possible
overturning, slidin and bearing capacity
failures.
– Each component of the structure is checked
for strength and the steel reinforced od each
component is determined.
Some retaining walls have their backfills stabilized
mechanically by including such as metal strips, bars,
welded wire mats, geotextiles and geogrid.

 Stability of retaining walls
• A retaining wall may fail in any of the following ways:
– It may overturn about its toe
– It may slide along its base
– It may fail due to the loss of bearing capacity of the soil
supporting the base
– It may undergo deep-seated shear failure
– It may go through excessive settlement.
