CANTILEVER RCC RETAINING WALL TERMINOLOGY:-
Vertical stem:-
Vertical stem in cantilever retaining wall resists earth pressure from backfill side and bends
like a cantilever.

Base slab:-
The base slab form the foundation of the retaining wall

heel slab and toe slab

The heel slab acts as a horizontal cantilever under the combined action of the weight
of the retaining earth from the top.
REINFORCEMENT DETAILS:-
• 12mm dia bars@300mmc/c
• base slab bars are bent up at
45degree
• Height of the retaining wall is
2meters
 SHUTTERING DETAILS:-
• Shuttering done by leaving cover of
45mm either side of the wall
• The covering is provided by tying
cover blocks to the reinforcement
• shuttering may be done by using
shuttering sheets
• Shuttering consists of plywood
panel, battens, spreader
CONCRETING OF RETAINING WALL:-

DETAILS:-
base slab thickness :- 300mm
stem thickness at bottom:- 300mm
stem thickness at top :-150mm
CURING OF CONCRETE:-

By Spraying on concrete:-
The most common process is nowadays to cure concrete is using a curing
compound. The chemical needs to be applied once the concrete is hardened
but still was water content on it. If you wait until all water evaporates, then
the curing compound might not produce the best results. Be sure to use the
right sprayer to create a uniform coverage and the right amount of
compound is applied. There are many products that can be used so be sure
to read the manufacturer's application before applying it.
• Cantilever Retaining Wall Failure:-
• Effect of water: Ground water behind a retaining wall,
whether static or percolating through a subsoil, can have
adverse effects upon the design and stability.
• Slip circle failure: sometimes encountered with
cantilever wall in clay soils particularly if there is a heavy
surcharge.
• Low quality of material that use in cantilever construction
• Low design reinforcement in cantilever wall.
• Mistake in calculate height of water table, nature & type
of soil.
• Subsoil water movements.
 CONCLUSION
A good backfill material should be used with good drainage
characteristics to prevent hydrostatic pressure build – up. A
situation where it is not available, water should be prevented from
getting into the backfill material to prevent a build – up hydrostatic
pressure.

The word failure does not necessarily imply catastrophic failure

some like a slight sliding of retaining wall should be more aptly
described as unsatisfactory performance than a seriously failure.
