Concrete Pit Design
Concrete Pit Design
(OP)
Consider designing a four walled concrete pit with a concrete bottom and open top. The walls are 9 ft wide inside. The top of concrete at pit floor is 8 ft below grade with another 2 ft projecting above grade. Would the pit walls be like a retaining wall and size for vertical flexural reinforcement? Or would the main flexural reinforcing be horizontal, spanning between the two perpendicular pit walls?

Do you require provisions for a temporary guard at the top?
