Retaining Wall Design
Retaining Wall Design
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I am a civil engineer with little experience in the design of cantilever retaining walls. Can you guys point me in the direction of design guides, resources, etc. as I may have a need shortly to design a retaining wall. As a minimum I would like to just have the knowledge.

Seems sources like USACE, AASHTO, FHA, are so broadly referenced, you're likely to end up back there sooner or later anyway.
If you've picked up a PE Exam guide lately (McGraw Hill), the Structural Engineering In Depth portion has a few step-by-step problems that cover the basics (concrete, reinforcement, geo parameters).
One thing to consider is the broad range of materials and systems used for wall construction-- concrete and steel, wood, polymers. Many proprietary systems have 'manufacturer's' recommendations for design and construction.
Have fun...
