Plan 9309

Concrete Retaining Walls

Concrete retaining walls have limited application on most farms. Where they are used, however, proper design and construction will assure satisfactory performance. This plan provides details for reinforced concrete retaining walls up to 2.4 m (8 ft) high. Two primary conditions must be met.

1. The wall system has to be stable, so that it does not move or overturn.
2. It must be strong enough to withstand the breaking forces where the wall joins the footing.

Shown above, in Figure 1, is the basis for design of this plan.
