Retaining Wall Failure - Deflection or Angle
Retaining Wall Failure - Deflection or Angle
(OP)
Is there guidance for a deflection (offset) or angle that when a retaining wall has reached those values, the retaining wall is considered to have failed?
Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean 0.04H as 4 feet seems a bit much for a ten foot wall. Just a bit.

Maximum Allowable Deflection = 0.4 (Exposed Height in feet) = Results (inch)
