    Retaining walls have several applications including supporting high-rise buildings, basements, highways, roads, trains, metros, subways, docks, tunnels, and abutments. There are different types of retaining walls such as gravity, cantilever, counterfort, and buttress retaining walls. Proper design of retaining walls requires considering the stem or wall slab, front and backfill, toe and heel, keys, lateral earth pressure, reinforcement, drainage including weepers or weep holes, drainage pipes, perforated pipes, and filter materials.
