Double Reinforcement in Retaining Wall stem?
Double Reinforcement in Retaining Wall stem?
(OP)
The reinforcement in a Stem of a cantilever retaining wall must be double reinforcement in order to carry the moment produced by lateral forces.
Is it practical to have double reinforcement in a stem? or stem thickness to be increase in order to avoid the double reinforcement?

Or as indicated by others, increase the wall thickness until compression reinforcement is no longer required.

how is the horizontal shear transferred from the wall to the base?
As the foundation and wall are generally cast separately, thus "cracked".
Is it not just the tension reinforcing going through the interface that
transfers the shear?
I guess this rarely governs.
