What is Retaining Wall Calculator?

Analyze lateral earth pressures and overturning moments for cantilever retaining walls using Rankine Theory.

Technical Overview

Design site-stable retaining structures. This tool calculates active and passive earth pressures using Rankine's theory and checks the wall for factors of safety against overturning and sliding.

Common Questions

1
When is a retaining wall required?

A retaining wall is needed whenever a change in ground elevation exceeds the natural angle of repose of the soil, typically used in basements and terraced landscaping.

2
What is the "angle of repose"?

The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which a sloping surface of loose material (like soil) is stable. Common values range from 25 to 40 degrees.
