Retaining wall LRFD
Retaining wall LRFD
(OP)
When you design retaining wall and you have live load surcharge. Do you add the vertical live load surcharge to the heel? Or do you only apply the horizontal? It seems having LL surcharge helps my over turning instead of hurting.

I find it somewhat surprising that so many use the vertical surcharge to counteract overturning and sliding. I mean some codes will not let you do this as the surcharge is meant to be a de-stabilizing force not a stabilizing force.
It depends on the situation I suppose.
