Different Types of Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are constructions built to maintain soil on a slope that it would not normally stay on.

Fremont, CA: When there has been a desired change in ground elevation which surpasses the angle of repose of the soil, a retaining wall is planned and built to resist the lateral pressure of soil. Retaining walls have been used to hold soil laterally to be retained at multiple levels on both sides. Retaining walls are constructions built to maintain soil on a slope that would not normally stay on (typically a steep, near-vertical, or vertical slope). They are used to join soils between two distinct altitudes, common in terrain with unfavorable slopes or locations where the landscape must be sculpted forcefully and designed for more specialized goals such as hillside farming or roadway flyovers. Let's see different kinds of retaining walls below.

Concrete Cantilever retaining wall

A cantilever retaining wall is typically made out of a wall attached to the foundation. A cantilevered wall must be adequately constructed since it holds back a substantial volume of dirt. Therefore, they are by far the most often utilized form of retaining wall. The back-fill weight plus surcharge also stabilizes the wall from overturning and sliding on this slab foundation, which is also laden by the back-fill.
