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

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