Cantilever Retaining Walls

These are constructed of reinforced concrete with an economic height range of 1200 to 6000. They work on the principles of leverage where the stem is designed as a cantilever fixed at the base and base is designed as a cantilever fixed at the stem. Several formats are possible and in most cases a beam is placed below the base to increase the total passive resistance to sliding.
