I have a retaining wall that requires a redesign. The contractor originally constructed the wall without a design. It was constructed of 6x6 pressure treated lumber in (approximately) 8 feet sections. Every so often a dead man was placed using 6x6's also. The inadequacy was mainly due to poor construction of the wall as well as non-compacted soil conditions.
Now that it collapsed, the contractor realizes the worth of an engineer. Since I am asked to take responsibility for the retaining wall, it needs to be done correctly. I am familiar with the idea of this design, but would like to have a design guide to reference.
Thanks in advance.
