@structboard: How do retaining walls hold back tons of earth without collapsing? 🧱 The secret lies in what you don't see. ⬇️ The foundation (toe + heel) must resist overturning, sliding, and bearing failure. ⬇️ Active earth pressure pushes horizontally — calculated via Rankine or Coulomb theory. ⬇️ Weep holes + drainage layer release hydrostatic pressure; without them, water doubles the load. ⬇️ Steel reinforcement resists tension where concrete can't — typically on the soil-facing side. ⬇️ A geotextile filter prevents the drainage layer from clogging with fines over time. Every retaining wall is a silent equilibrium of forces. Miss one check — and gravity wins. ⚖️ #retainingwall #geotechnicalengineering #civilengineering #earthpressure #structuralengineering #construction #engineering #structboard

I beg your finest pardon. Did you say when the FOS drops below 2, the wall fails?

I'd go with angled backwards about 30°, which would create a vector of force down at the bottom in the horizontal direction.

the safety factor description doesn't sound right. the design is to Handel twice the design load in your example. if the load is over twice the design load the wall will fail.

Will drainage sill be an issue or does this style wall handle the water as well?

When the factor of safety drops below 2 the wall is likely performing as designed.

The structural load calculations must be done very carefully; otherwise, the consequences can be severe

that looks like pile drivers work drive some sheeting and add ground and that wall ain't going nowhere

The secret is building in layers. In a small scale it’s like adding a cup of soil and add a napkin, then another cup of soil and a napkin a so on, then in the middle they add hangers to actually hold the wall. So the wall main purpose is not the strength is to stop the eroding.
