Design of Retaining Wall

This document provides calculations to design a retaining wall and check its adequacy against overturning and sliding forces. Notations for variables used in the calculations are defined, including wheel load, surcharge load, weights of soil and concrete, wall thickness, footing thickness, and dimensions. Material properties for soil, concrete, and a precast wall are given. Vertical and horizontal load values are then calculated based on the defined variables and material properties. Wind load is also calculated according to building code specifications.
