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

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 overall
