There are three different forms of this type of wall all of which are designed to resist overturning and sliding failure.
Reinforced concrete retaining wall design.
Reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry walls on spread foundations are gravity structures in which the stability against overturning is provided by the weight of the wall and reinforcement bars in the wall.
