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.
These guidelines will assist Engineering Professionals in undertaking the design of Retaining Walls in a consistent manner, incorporating best practices such as providing complete documentation, and following appropriate quality management procedures.
The ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook provides dozens of design examples of various reinforced concrete members, such as one- and two-way slabs, beams, columns, walls, diaphragms, footings, and retaining walls.
spWall is a program for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete shear walls, tilt-up walls, precast walls, retaining walls, tank walls and Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) walls. It uses a graphical interface that enables the
The Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook now provides dozens of design examples of various reinforced concrete members, such as one- and two-way slabs, beams, columns, walls, diaphragms, footings, and retaining walls.
Design a reinforced concrete retaining wall for the following conditions. Development of Structural Design Equations. In this example, the structural design of the. three retaining wall components is performed by hand.
Reinforced concrete walls must be anchored to floors and roofs or to columns, pilasters, buttresses, and intersecting walls. Walls more than 10 in. thick, except for basement walls, must have reinforcement in each direction for each face. The exterior surface shall have a minimum of one-half and a maximum of two-thirds of the total.
