DESIGN
CONSULTANT
This design note present the detailed calculation for T-type RCC Retaining Wall (Type - II). It contains the
typical design of Retaining wall Shaft and foundation. In the analysis the forces have been worked out at the
bottom of foundation for foundation design and at the top of foundation for Retaining wall shaft design.
