RE: Does anyone know how to design a CMU retaining wall?
I would venture most of us know how, but suspect that you're wanting more specific information.
Perhaps you're looking for a good reference to how to design a CMU wall.
James Amrhein has a great reference on the material and Dickey/Schnieder have a good reference also. But there was one reference that I saw which was entirely devoted to all types of masonry walls - and I can't recall the name of it. It is dated material no doubt - 1950 or 1960s.
