Cantilever Retaining Wall Structural Design Spreadsheet

This document provides parameters and calculations for the structural design of a cantilever retaining wall. It includes inputs for the stem thickness, heights, lengths, surcharge, and soil properties. It then calculates values like equivalent heights, weights, forces, moments, and required rebar areas for the toe, heel, and stem designs. Safety factors are checked against sliding and overturning failure modes.
