Types of Retaining Walls - Structural Engineers

Retaining walls are structure used to retain soil, rock or other materials in a vertical condition. Hence they provide a lateral support to vertical slopes of soil that would otherwise collapse into a more natural shape. Most common materials used for retaining walls are:

DUCTILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS

the brittle failure as result of inelastic deformation can be avoided only if the concrete is made to behave in a ductile manner so that the member can absorb and dissipate large amount of energy. Hence in the case of reinforced concrete members subjected to inelastic deformation, not only strength but also ductility plays vital role in the design.

Moreover, during a major earthquake, in ductile structures where the diaphragms are designed to remain essentially elastic, the superstructure
