I thank you all for your replys. The situation I am in involves a retaining wall with two and three tier sections. The structural designed the walls "far enough apart" to where he thought they acted independently and basically thought he wouldn't need to perform global. After I check the Global...
thankyou very much fndn, for your response. If then the structural designs that wall, say a three tier wall, is required of them to inform their client to make sure the global is checked? Or does the responsibility for the structural end with his finishing the design and performing local stability.
