CMU retaining wall design requires more than a basic wall layout.
I prepare practical retaining wall plans with CMU reinforcement, foundation details, drainage provisions, lateral earth pressure analysis, and structural calculations for permit and construction use.
My scope can include:
CMU retaining wall plans
Retaining wall foundation design
Footing sizing and reinforcement
CMU block reinforcement details
Vertical and horizontal rebar
Stem wall design and calculations
Sliding and overturning checks
Bearing pressure analysis
Soil and lateral earth pressure calculations
Surcharge load consideration
Drainage and weep hole details
Gravel backfill and filter fabric details
French drain / perforated pipe layouts
Wall section and construction details
Concrete footing reinforcement
Structural load calculations
Site grading coordination
Residential retaining walls
Landscape retaining walls
Permit-ready engineering drawings
Where applicable, I can coordinate the retaining wall details with site drainage and foundation conditions.
