GRAVITY WALLS

Gravity walls depend on their mass (stone, concrete or other heavy material) to resist pressure from behind and may

have a 'batter' setback to improve stability by leaning back toward the retained soil

CANTILEVER RETAINING WALLS

Cantilevered retaining walls are made from an internal stem of steel-reinforced, cast-in-place concrete or mortared

masonry (often in the shape of an inverted T)

COUNTERFORT RETAINING WALLS

These walls are used when the backfill of greater height is to be retained in this walls the vertical

stem an the heel slab are strengthened by providing

counterforts at some suitable intervals which acts as continuous

slab in contrast retaining walls.

BUTTRESSED WALLS

These walls are the modification of the counterfort retining walls.
