    The document discusses the design principles and analysis of cantilever retaining walls. It provides general proportions for the overall height, top width, base width, stem thickness at bottom, and toe projection length. The document also presents a formula for calculating the factor of safety against sliding, which must be satisfied for safe retaining wall design.

    RETAINING WALL

     Principles of the design of retaining wall.

     Cantilever retaining wall analysis.


    General proportion for overall height of H are also shown in the figure below.
    Top width of the stem is at least 0.3m. The width of the base slab is kept about 2H/3. Width of
    the stem at bottom, the thickness of the base slab and the length of toe projection, each is kept
    about 0.1H.
    Where i is the angle of surcharge and ǿ is effective angle of shearing resistance.

     For safe design following requirement must be satisfied.


    (a) Factor of safety against sliding.

    Fs = Sum of the horizontal resisting force


    Sum of the horizontal driving force
