Retaining Wall Calculation

This document provides details for designing a retaining wall for a project at the University of Al-Jabal Al-Gharbi in Libya. It includes dimensions and material properties for the wall and soil. Lateral forces on the wall are calculated based on the soil properties and various loadings. Design standards and assumptions made for the wall are also noted. The wall geometry, loadings, lateral forces, and total design moments are summarized.
