Designing a Tied-back Retaining Wall

Designing a Tied-back Retaining Wall

Designing a Tied-back Retaining Wall

(OP)
The situation is like this:
Now there exist a old mansory wall that need to repair, the proposed action is to construct a new R.C. wall(just like a slab) in front of the old one, and finally add some tied back structure to connected them and to stabilise the whole structure.
Thus, I would like to know how can I do my design, what's he difference in between designing this one and a wall without tied back structures.

Thanks for the help from u guys~!!

RE: Designing a Tied-back Retaining Wall

If I understand your question, it could be summarized as "What is the difference between designing a stand alone retaining wall and a permanently anchored tied back wall?"  The answer is very simple, they have nothing in common.  The only thing that they could possibly have in common would the location.

Please provide some more information and we may be able to help.

RE: Designing a Tied-back Retaining Wall

GeoPaveTraffic is correct.  And as an additional comment, I wouldn't use an "old mansory wall that need to repair" as any part of my new wall system.  It sounds too risky -
