How to calculate the width of counterweight retaining wall?

　　According to the slope technical specification, when the gravity retaining wall is a soil slope, the height of the gravity retaining wall should not be more than 8m, and the height of the rock slope should not be more than 10m.

　　However, it is generally possible to break through this height.

　　In the retaining wall map set, the optional height of the counterweight retaining wall is 12 meters (note that there is no slope protection at the top of the wall) see 04J008 for details.

　　However, the stability of the slope should be calculated by itself.

　　In fact, after careful calculation, there should be no problem for the retaining wall to be 15 meters, but it is no longer a simple retaining problem when the slope is high.

　　Its design takes into account the stability of the slope, that is, the stability of the retaining wall foundation.

　　In general, the buried depth of the foundation of the retaining wall is not small (about 0.8m), but the most disadvantageous sliding surface of the slope is often deep.

　　At this time, in order to ensure the stability of the whole slope, it is quite uneconomical to use gravity retaining wall.

　　Therefore, it is not recommended to build high retaining walls.
