Sliding of footing of retaining/bearing wall
Sliding of footing of retaining/bearing wall
(OP)
I am designing footings of a retaining/bearing concrete wall. The sliding became an issue because the friction coefficient is low. I wonder if the slab-on-grade adjacent to the wall can be used against the sliding. Thanks for your help!

Good luck.

Make sure that the slab is poured up against the inside of the wall(use a bond breaker).

Has anyone ever seen a retaining wall foundation slide?
I'm almost 80 and the only failures I have seen are bulging, leaning and tipping over.
Maybe concern about sliding is over emphasized.
