Design and analysis of Retaining Wall
This construction article presents some useful tips for designing and examining retaining wall for foundation.
Dimensions of base from stress considerations:
The base width b concerning the retaining wall must be selected carefully in order that the ratio of length of the toe slab to the base width should be maintained in such a manner that the stress p1 at the toe should not surpass the safe bearing capacity of the soil.
