good way to design a shear key -cantilever retaing wall - sliding
(OP)
Hi ,
I am designing a retaining wall 9.5 ft high holding 9 ft of soil and with 2 ft of soil on front side ( passive side)with frost protection for 2 ft, thus I need a shear key to check sliding .
What are the options in the industry to do a good shear key design ?
Thank you

I've noticed that State DOT standard retaining wall details (TX, for example) only use very short keys (like 9") which tells me that they're not depending on them very much.
