(1) The document provides the requirements to design the stem of a cantilever retaining wall that is 4.5 meters tall and retains an earthen embankment 4.18 meters above ground level. (2) It also provides an alternative design problem to design the stem, toe slab, and heel slab of a counterfort retaining wall that is 8.25 meters tall and retains an embankment 7 meters above ground. (3) The document gives specifications for soil properties, concrete grade, steel reinforcement, and other parameters to consider in the design of the retaining walls.
