About this document

Retaining Wall Design Calculation Guide by Veep Dora is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes the hand calculation of the dimensions of a cantilever retaining wall. It includes: 1) Calculation of earth pressure coefficients and preliminary dimensions of the wall including a minimum foundation depth of 1.05m. 2) Determination of base width as 2.1m based on earth pressure and soil properties. 3) Calculation of stem thickness at base as 400mm based on bending moment capacity. 4) Verification of stability against overturning and sliding with factors of safety above 1.55.
