Cantilever Wall Design Data

This document describes the design of a cantilever retaining wall. Key details include: 1) Dimensions and properties of the wall including a height of 4.1 feet, base width of 9.8 feet, and stem thickness of 0.8 feet. 2) Calculations of loads on the wall from the soil including an active soil pressure of 148.867 pounds per square foot. 3) Checks that the wall design is safe against overturning, sliding, bearing capacity failure, and adequate reinforcement is provided. 4) Detailed designs of the stem, toe, and heel sections including calculations for shear and bending capacities.
