t-wall retaining wall system

[edward1]

I am attempting hand calcs of the t-wall system to confirm the stability of a design. Anyone seen a textbook type analysis of this?

No, but I believe that the analysis is similar to a bin or crib wall where you assume that the open rear T-Wall face is closed.

PEinc,
Thanks, that is very helpful. I can see that it is similar to other segmental retaining walls.

I assume that you have reviewed the information on the following web site.

PEinc,
Thanks, I have. I also have a computer output from this company for a 20 feet t-wall design and this should help to see what assumptions were used in this design.
