Retaining Wall Design Calculations

The document contains input values for calculating forces and stresses on a retaining wall structure. Values provided include dimensions, material properties, loads. Steps are shown to calculate restoring moment, overturning moment, loads assisting/resisting sliding, stress due to vertical and bending loads, and factor of safety against overturning, sliding and bearing capacity failure. The retaining wall is found to be safe based on calculated factors of safety being greater than 1. Estimated construction costs are also provided.
