Cantilever Retaining Wall – Functions and Design Considerations
Cantilever retaining wall is the most common type of earth-retaining structure. It is constructed of reinforced Portland-cement concrete (PCC) was the predominant type of rigid retaining wall used from about the 1920s to 1970s. Earth slopes and earth retaining structures are used to maintain two different ground surface elevations.
Following are the different types of retaining walls, which is based on the shape and the mode of resisting the pressure. 1. Gravity wall-Masonry or Plain concrete 2. Cantilever retaining wall-RCC (I nverted T and L) 3. Counterfort retaining wall-RCC 4. Buttress wall-RCC
Parts, Types, and Design of Cantilever Wall - Civil Concept
Cantilever walls are generally constructed for retaining height 10ft – 25ft of the elevation difference. These walls have large base footing, which is anchored over the soil acts as fixed support and the vertical stem suspended upright position connected to base acts as the free end and supported lateral force of confinement; as in cantilever beam.
Cantilever Retaining Walls: Overview of the Design Process
2019年11月6日 · Here is an overview of the design of cantilever retaining walls, including the typical loads, lateral soil pressures, stability analysis, and member design.
Concrete Masonry Cantilever Retaining Walls - CMHA
In cantilever retaining walls, the concrete base or footing holds the vertical masonry wall in position and resists overturning and sliding caused by lateral soil loading. The reinforcement is placed vertically in the cores of the masonry units to resist the tensile stresses developed by the lateral earth pressure.
This design example focuses on the analysis and design of a tapered cantilever retaining wall including a comparison with model results from the engineering software programs spWall and spMats. The retaining wall is fixed to the reinforced concrete slab foundation with a shear key for sliding resistance.
The cantilever is the most common type of retaining wall and is used for walls in the range of 3to 6m in height. This study presents analyses and design of cantilever retaining wall which is made from an internal stem of

This design example focuses on the analysis and design of a tapered cantilever retaining wall including a comparison with model results from the engineering software programs spWall and spMats. The retaining wall is fixed to the reinforced concrete slab foundation with a shear key for sliding resistance.
Cantilevered retaining walls are typically used in cut excavations [Fig. 1] [Fig. 2]. Nevertheless, they can be used also for fill applications. Due to their narrow base width, cantilevered retaining walls are suitable for those situations with tight space constraints or right-of-way constraints.
