Retaining Walls
By
Engr. Mudassir Abbas
Retaining walls are used to hold back masses of earth or other
loose material where conditions make it impossible to let those
masses assume their natural slopes.
Function of retaining wall
 Such conditions occur when the width of an excavation, cut,
or embankment is restricted by conditions of ownership, use of
the structure, or economy. For example, in railway or highway
construction the width of the right of way is fixed, and the cut or
embankment must be contained within that width.
Similarly, the basement walls of the buildings must be located
within the property and must retain the soil surrounding the
base.
Free standing retaining walls, as distinct from those that form
parts of structures, such as basement walls, are of various types.
Types of retaining walls
 The gravity retaining wall retains the
earth entirely by its own weight and
generally contains no reinforcement. It
is used up to 10 ft height.
 The reinforced concrete cantilever
retaining wall consists of the vertical arm
that retains the earth and is held in position
by a footing or base slab. In this case, the
weight of the fill on top of the heel, in
addition to the weight of the wall,
contributes to the stability of the structure.
Since the arm represents a vertical
cantilever, its required thickness increase
rapidly, with increasing height. It is used in
the range of 10 to 20 ft height.
In the counterfort wall the
stem and base slab are tied
together by counterforts which
are transverse walls spaced
at intervals and act as tension
ties to support the stem wall.
Counterforts are of half or
larger heights. Counterfort
walls are economical for
heights over 25 ft.
Types of retaining walls
Property rights or other restrictions sometimes make it necessary
to place the wall at the forward edge of the base slab, i.e. to omit
the toe. Whenever it is possible, toe extensions of one-third to
one-fourth of the width of the base provide a more economical
solution.
A buttress wall is similar to a
counterfort wall except that
the transverse support walls
are located on the side of the
stem opposite to the retained
material and act as
compression struts. Buttress,
as compression elements,
are more efficient than the
tension counterforts and are
economical in the same
height range.
Types of retaining walls
A counterfort is more widely used than a buttress because the
counterfort is hidden beneath the retained material, whereas the
buttress occupies what may otherwise be usable space in front of
the wall.
This is an free standing wall category. A wall type bridge abutment
acts similarly to a cantilever retaining wall except that the bridge
deck provides an additional horizontal restraint at the top of the
stem. Thus this abutment is designed as a beam fixed at the
bottom and simply supported or partially restrained at the top.
Types of retaining walls

1. Lateral earth pressure will be considered to be live loads and a
factor of 1.7 applied.
Basis of Structural Design
2. In general, the reactive pressure of the soil under the structure
at the service load stage will be taken equal to 1.7 times the soil
pressure found for service load conditions in the stability
analysis.
3. For cantilever retaining walls, the calculated dead load of the
toe slab, which causes moments acting in the opposite sense to
those produced by the upward soil reaction, will be multiplied by
a factor of 0.9.
4. For the heel slab, the required moment capacity will be based
on the dead load of the heel slab itself, plus the earth directly
above it, both multiplied by 1.4.
5. Surcharge, if present, will be treated as live load with load
factor of 1.7.
6. The upward pressure of the soil under the heel slab will be
taken equal to zero, recognizing that for severe over load stage
a non linear pressure distribution will probably be obtained, with
most of the reaction concentrated near the toe.
Basis of Structural Design
Drainage
 Reduction in bearing capacity.
 Hydrostatic pressure.
 Ice pressure
 Drainage can be provided in various ways
i. Weep holes, 6 to 8 in. 5 to 10 ft horizontally spaced. 1 ft3
stone at rear end at the bottom weep holes to facilitate
drainage and to prevent clogging.
ii. Longitudinal drains embedded in crushed stone or gravel,
along rear face of the wall.
iii. Continuous back drain consisting of a layer of gravel or
crushed stone covering the entire rear face of the wall with
discharge at the ends.
Problem
 A gravity retaining wall consisting of plain concrete w=144
lb/ft3
is shown in fig. The bank of supported earth is
assumed to weigh 110 lb/ft3
ø=300
and to have a coefficient
of friction against sliding on soil of 0.5.

Estimating size of cantilever retaining wall
 The base of footing should be below frost penetration about 3’
or 4’.
Height of Wall
 Stem is thickest at its base. They have thickness in the range
of 8 to 12% of overall height of the retaining wall. The minimum
thickness at the top is 10” but preferably 12”.
Stem Thickness.
 Preferably, total thickness of base fall between 7 and 10% of
the overall wall height. Minimum thickness is at least 10” to 12”
used.
Base Thickness
Estimating size of cantilever retaining wall
 For preliminary estimates, the base length can be taken
about 40 to 60% of the overall wall height.
Base Length
 Another method refer to fig. W is assumed to be equal to
weight of the material within area abcd.
 Take moments about toe and solve for x.
Problem
 Design a cantilever retaining wall to support a bank of earth of
16 ft height above the final level of earth at the toe of the wall.
The backfill is to be level, but a building is to be built on the fill.
 Assume that an 8’ surcharge will approximate the lateral
earth pressure effect.
Weight of retained material = 130 lb/ft3
Angle of internal friction = 35o
Coefficient of friction b/w
concrete and soil = 0.4
fc’=3000 psi
fy=40,000 psi
Maximum soil
pressure
= 5 k/ft2
Solution
 Allowing 4’ for frost penetration to the bottom of footing in
front of the wall, the total height becomes.
Height of Wall
 h = 16 + 4 = 20 ft.
 At this stage, it may be assumed 7 to 10% of the overall
height h.
Thickness of Base
 Assume a uniform thickness t = 2’ ( 10% of h )
 h = 20’ h’ = 8’

 For tension bars to be terminated in the tension zone, one
of the following condition must be satisfied.
2. Continuing bars must provide at last twice the area required
for bending moment at the cut off point.
1. Vu at the cut-off point must not exceed two-thirds of the
shear strength øVn.

Since øVc > Vu so no need of shear reinforcement.
 The ρ used should not be less than at any point. This
minimum limit, strictly speaking, does not apply to retaining
walls. However, because the integrity of retaining wall
depends absolutely on the vertical walls, it appear prudent to
use this limit un such cases.

 First termination point is 5’-11” from bottom
where d=14.46” As =1.335 in2

ρ = 0.0045 ≈ 0.005 Therefore the above condition is satisfied.
 Another requirement is that maximum spacing of the primary
flexural reinforcement exceed neither 3 times the wall thickness
nor 18 in. These restrictions are satisfied as well.
 For splices of deformed bars in tension, at sections where the
ratio of steel provided to steel required is less than 2 and where
no more than 50% of the steel is spliced, the ACI code requires
a class-B splice of length 1.3 ld.
 ld for # 9 bars =29”

Retaining wall

  • 2. Retaining walls are used to hold back masses of earth or other loose material where conditions make it impossible to let those masses assume their natural slopes. Function of retaining wall  Such conditions occur when the width of an excavation, cut, or embankment is restricted by conditions of ownership, use of the structure, or economy. For example, in railway or highway construction the width of the right of way is fixed, and the cut or embankment must be contained within that width. Similarly, the basement walls of the buildings must be located within the property and must retain the soil surrounding the base.
  • 3. Free standing retaining walls, as distinct from those that form parts of structures, such as basement walls, are of various types. Types of retaining walls  The gravity retaining wall retains the earth entirely by its own weight and generally contains no reinforcement. It is used up to 10 ft height.  The reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall consists of the vertical arm that retains the earth and is held in position by a footing or base slab. In this case, the weight of the fill on top of the heel, in addition to the weight of the wall, contributes to the stability of the structure. Since the arm represents a vertical cantilever, its required thickness increase rapidly, with increasing height. It is used in the range of 10 to 20 ft height.
  • 4. In the counterfort wall the stem and base slab are tied together by counterforts which are transverse walls spaced at intervals and act as tension ties to support the stem wall. Counterforts are of half or larger heights. Counterfort walls are economical for heights over 25 ft. Types of retaining walls Property rights or other restrictions sometimes make it necessary to place the wall at the forward edge of the base slab, i.e. to omit the toe. Whenever it is possible, toe extensions of one-third to one-fourth of the width of the base provide a more economical solution.
  • 5. A buttress wall is similar to a counterfort wall except that the transverse support walls are located on the side of the stem opposite to the retained material and act as compression struts. Buttress, as compression elements, are more efficient than the tension counterforts and are economical in the same height range. Types of retaining walls A counterfort is more widely used than a buttress because the counterfort is hidden beneath the retained material, whereas the buttress occupies what may otherwise be usable space in front of the wall.
  • 6. This is an free standing wall category. A wall type bridge abutment acts similarly to a cantilever retaining wall except that the bridge deck provides an additional horizontal restraint at the top of the stem. Thus this abutment is designed as a beam fixed at the bottom and simply supported or partially restrained at the top. Types of retaining walls
  • 7.  w is unit weight of the soil Earth Pressure  C0 is a constant known as the coefficient of earth pressure at rest According to Rankin, the coefficient for active and passive earth pressure are φ−δ+δ φ−δ−δ δ= 22 22 CosCosCos CosCosCos CosCa φ−δ−δ φ−δ+δ δ= 22 22 CosCosCos CosCosCos CosCp  For the case of horizontal surface δ=0 φ+ φ− = sin1 sin1 Cah φ− φ+ = sin1 sin1 Cph  For liquid P=wwh, ww is the unit weight of water. Soil retaining structure Ph=Cowh

  • 16. 1. Lateral earth pressure will be considered to be live loads and a factor of 1.7 applied. Basis of Structural Design 2. In general, the reactive pressure of the soil under the structure at the service load stage will be taken equal to 1.7 times the soil pressure found for service load conditions in the stability analysis. 3. For cantilever retaining walls, the calculated dead load of the toe slab, which causes moments acting in the opposite sense to those produced by the upward soil reaction, will be multiplied by a factor of 0.9.
  • 17. 4. For the heel slab, the required moment capacity will be based on the dead load of the heel slab itself, plus the earth directly above it, both multiplied by 1.4. 5. Surcharge, if present, will be treated as live load with load factor of 1.7. 6. The upward pressure of the soil under the heel slab will be taken equal to zero, recognizing that for severe over load stage a non linear pressure distribution will probably be obtained, with most of the reaction concentrated near the toe. Basis of Structural Design

  • 23. Estimating size of cantilever retaining wall  The base of footing should be below frost penetration about 3’ or 4’. Height of Wall  Stem is thickest at its base. They have thickness in the range of 8 to 12% of overall height of the retaining wall. The minimum thickness at the top is 10” but preferably 12”. Stem Thickness.  Preferably, total thickness of base fall between 7 and 10% of the overall wall height. Minimum thickness is at least 10” to 12” used. Base Thickness
  • 24. Estimating size of cantilever retaining wall  For preliminary estimates, the base length can be taken about 40 to 60% of the overall wall height. Base Length  Another method refer to fig. W is assumed to be equal to weight of the material within area abcd.  Take moments about toe and solve for x.
  • 25. Problem  Design a cantilever retaining wall to support a bank of earth of 16 ft height above the final level of earth at the toe of the wall. The backfill is to be level, but a building is to be built on the fill.  Assume that an 8’ surcharge will approximate the lateral earth pressure effect. Weight of retained material = 130 lb/ft3 Angle of internal friction = 35o Coefficient of friction b/w concrete and soil = 0.4 fc’=3000 psi fy=40,000 psi Maximum soil pressure = 5 k/ft2
  • 26. Solution  Allowing 4’ for frost penetration to the bottom of footing in front of the wall, the total height becomes. Height of Wall  h = 16 + 4 = 20 ft.  At this stage, it may be assumed 7 to 10% of the overall height h. Thickness of Base  Assume a uniform thickness t = 2’ ( 10% of h )  h = 20’ h’ = 8’ Base Length

  • 50.  The actual termination point is found by extending beyond the intersection of capacity moment line with the factored moment diagram a distance of either the effective depth d or 12 bar diameters, whichever is greater. Solution  Thus half bars should be cut at 4’-8” distance from bottom and further half bars should be cut 8’-8” theoretically from bottom.

  • 56.  The ρ used should not be less than at any point. This minimum limit, strictly speaking, does not apply to retaining walls. However, because the integrity of retaining wall depends absolutely on the vertical walls, it appear prudent to use this limit un such cases. yf 200  First termination point is 5’-11” from bottom where d=14.46” As =1.335 in2  Second termination point is 9’-10” form bottom where d=12.44” As=0.6675 in2 Solution 005.0 f 200 0077.0 y =>=ρ ρ = 0.0045 ≈ 0.005 Therefore the above condition is satisfied.
  • 57.  Another requirement is that maximum spacing of the primary flexural reinforcement exceed neither 3 times the wall thickness nor 18 in. These restrictions are satisfied as well.  For splices of deformed bars in tension, at sections where the ratio of steel provided to steel required is less than 2 and where no more than 50% of the steel is spliced, the ACI code requires a class-B splice of length 1.3 ld.  ld for # 9 bars =29”  Splice length = 1.3 × 29 = 37.7” or 3’-2” O.K Solution
