Abstract
Retaining walls are built in order to hold background which would otherwise move downwards. Their purpose is to stabilise slopes and provide useful areas at different elevations, e.g., terraces for agriculture, buildings, roads and railways. A retaining wall is a structure designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil when there is a desired change in ground elevation that exceeds the angle of repose of the soil. The basement wall is thus one form of retaining wall. However, the term is most often used to refer to a cantilever retaining wall, which is a freestanding structure without lateral support at its top.
