Hi guyz how would you design a concrete inclined wall.
Inclined concrete retaining wall.

Pre stressed retaining wall gravity walls reinforced gravity walls concrete cantilever.
Small gravity retaining walls are re l a t i v ely simple structures that can be built with unskilled labor and locally available materials.
Inclined retaining wall overview.
The choice depends on the driver between cost and a long life span.
For example in the cost index within the design table it can be noted that a 4m inclined block wall is 100 compared to 125 for a similar gravity block retaining wall.
Soil bearing and stability 8.
It is designed so that to resist the material pressure of the material that it is holding back.
Earthquake seismic design 7.
The base is divided into two parts the heel and toe.
The stem may have constant thickness along the length or may be tapered based on economic and construction criteria.
An inclined block retaining wall is the most economical solution as it uses the inclined blocks and gravity to add resistance to the forces trying to push the wall over.
The concrete blocks are normally 600 x 600mm or 800 x 800mm in width and height and come in various lengths to suite modules of either 600mm or 800mm.
Forces on retaining walls 6.
An earth retaining structure can be considered to have the following types.
Building codes and retaining walls 5.
There are two main inclined retaining wall types.
Very little reinforcing steel is needed because the walls don t have to resist bending and shear stresses like those developed in thinner can t i l e v er walls.
A retaining wall is a structure that retains holds back any material usually earth and prevents it from sliding or eroding away.
One uses concrete as it s mass and the other stone filled baskets.
Concrete block gravity retaining walls are constructed using interlocking concrete blocks.
In etabs we cannot assign piers to inclined walls so the other way i think is to use moment contours but how to design by moment contours a wall has 2 out of plane bending moments 2 out of plane shear components 1 in plane shear and mome.
