- Theories of lateral earth pressure will be used in this chapter
to design various types of retaining walls. In general, retaining
walls can be divided into two major categories: A- Conventional
retaining walls B- Mechanically stabilized earth walls dr. isam

- There are two phases in the design of a conventional wall:
First: Geotechnical Design (External Stability) With the lateral
earth pressure known, the structure as whole is checked for
external stability, which are overturning, sliding, bearing
capacity failures and overall Failure. dr. isam jardaneh /

- Second: Structural Design (Internal Stability) Each component
is checked for strength (thickness). The steel reinforcement of
each component is determined. dr. isam jardaneh / foundation
