    Agha Sikander
    The document summarizes the design of a cantilever retaining wall. It provides material properties, wall dimensions, soil parameters, and stability and strength calculations. A factor of safety of 1.07 was achieved for sliding stability. The maximum and minimum bearing pressures were 2.10 ksf and -0.34 ksf, satisfying bearing capacity. Reinforcement requirements were calculated for the stem, toe, and heel sections.

    The document discusses the design of a cantilever retaining wall based on various codes and material properties.

    The design of the cantilever retaining wall is based on ACI 318-95 and UBC-97 codes.

    The stability of the wall is analyzed against sliding and overturning by calculating the forces and moments acting on the active and passive sides of the wall and comparing factors of safety.
