Gravity Retaining Wall

Gravity Retaining Wall

Gravity Retaining Walls are cantilevered retaining walls where both faces can be battered battered to achieve a variable thickness from the base of the stem to the top of the stem, and where stability is generally accomplished by the magnitude of the wall weight itself, rather than by long extensions on the toe and heel of the footing.

 

 

The input parameters are significantly the same as those in the Cantilevered Retaining Wall.  Refer to that section for their descriptions.
