Cantilever Retaining Walls ~ these are constructed of reinforced
concrete with an economic height range of 1„200 to 6„000. They
work on the principles of leverage where the stem is designed as a
cantilever fixed at the base and base is designed as a cantilever
fixed at the stem. Several formats are possible and in most cases
a beam is placed below the base to increase the total passive
resistance to sliding. Facing materials can be used in a similar
manner to that shown on page 253.Medium Height Retaining Walls
