Retaining Wall Design-Equilv Soil Lateral Load
Retaining Wall Design-Equilv Soil Lateral Load
(OP)
I am designing a cantilever retaining wall using an equivalent soil lateral load of 35 psf per ft depth (instead of finding active earth pressure using coulombs method) Should equivalent soil lateral load be in lb/ft per foot depth to design? I'm not sure if i need to convert this or if the soil lateral load was given to me with the wrong units?
