Design Considerations
• Wall Layout(Site Plan, Topography, Utilities, Property Boundaries)
• Surcharge Loads(Traffic, Structures, Back-Slope on top of wall)
• Soil Properties(Reinforced Fill, Retained Fill, foundation Soils, Low soil shear strength within foundation soil or retained backfill)
• Foundation Bearing Capacity• Water Conditions
(Surface Water, Groundwater, Lakes, Ponds, Rivers)• Multiple Tiered Walls• Walls Built on a Slope

Design Considerations
• Location 1: Basic drainage
• Location 2: Surface run-off
• Location 3: Embankment flow
• Location 4: Ground water flow

Permitting Requirements for Retaining Walls
• Vary from State to State, County to County & City to City.• Many local ordinances have adopted the 2012 International Building Code as their
standard which says…… ANY WALL UNDER 4 FEET IN HEIGHT, MEASURED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE FOOTING
(LEVELING PAD) TO THE TOP OF WALL, UNLESS SUPPORTING A SURCHARGE OR IMPOUNDING CLASS I,II, OR IIIA LIQUIDS IS EXEMPT.
• EXAMPLE: Minimum recommended block embedment depth for SRW’s is 6 inches. Therefore the maximum EXPOSED Wall height under these guidelines is 3.5 feet exposed with a flat and
level toe slope and no surcharge above the wall. (parking lot, additional or tiered retaining wall or back slope)

• Terraces How close is too close? The minimum distance between the wall terraces must be at least equal to twice
the height of the lower wall without site specific engineering.
FIGURE 1. - Minimum spacing of terraced walls without site specific engineering.
FIGURE 2. - Typical design of closely spaced terraced walls with geogrid reinforcement.
Multiple Tiered Walls (according to manufacturers’ recommendations)
![Page 23: Segmental & MSE Retaining Wall Design & Best …colorado.apwa.net/Content/Chapters/colorado.apwa.net/File...Design Considerations •Wall Layout (Site Plan, Topography, Utilities,](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021508/5b097ad97f8b9abe5d8caeb6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Multiple Tiered Walls (according to NCMA)
• Terraces If the total combined height of the tiered walls is less than 6 feet in height, and the distance between
walls is greater or equal to 2 times the height of the lower wall, than the wall can be constructed per the manufacturers design chart recommendations.
However, if the horizontal spacing is less than twice the height of the lower wall, or if the overall combined height of all the walls is greater than 6 feet in height, the walls should be reviewed by a professional engineer.
