I'm trying to find some design aides on designing gravity retaining walls. My text book, reference manuals and even my trusty Army Corp of Engineers manuals all stress analysing existing structures. I need to learn how to come up with a shape based on soil parameters. Particularly, the slope of the retaining side of the wall.
Right now I doing an interative process. I pick arbitrary dimensions, run my calcs, and build it up (or whittle it down) till everything is withing the proper limits of safety.
Any input/advise would be greatly appreciated.
