Abstract

The use of segmental retaining walls has increased in residence, highways, and other commercial and municipal projects. This design manual provides design methodologies, installation procedures and sample specifications for the walls. It also includes design assumptions, construction practices, reference standards for modular concrete-block retaining-wall systems and material requirements.
