SRW Building Loads
(OP)
Hi! I am currently working on a small site design where a segmental block retaining wall will be required. I am new to retaining wall design and am wondering if my building approx. 40' away will exert any surcharges on the wall? Any help would be appreciated.





RE: SRW Building Loads
Elevation differences and proposed cross section in wall showing building, soil types, building type and foundations.
Any borings? What is shown there?
Proposed wall materials, Water situation (surface and ground)

I'd be careful about assuming clay for retaining wall design. That would generally be non-conservative.
