I will calculate retaining wall sliding overturning and bearing
Clear wall, footing, bearing, and settlement calculations
About this Gig
Concerned that a retaining wall may slide, overturn or overload the supporting soil? Get its external stability checks organized in one calculation package.
I provide calculation focused retaining wall stability checks using client supplied geometry, materials, soil values and site information.
My service can include:
- Active lateral soil pressure
- Backfill-slope and surcharge loads
- Groundwater pressure when applicable
- Sliding stability
- Overturning stability
- Base eccentricity and effective contact area
- Soil-bearing pressure
- Base reactions and controlling ratios
- Comparison of up to three cases in Premium
- Calculation summary with stated assumptions
This service is suitable for residential landscape walls, yard-elevation changes and similar earth-retaining structures.
Send the wall section, retained height, footing dimensions, backfill slope, surcharge, soil values, groundwater, drainage assumptions, materials, project city/state and photographs if the wall exists.

FAQ
Does this include reinforced concrete member calculations?
Not in the standard packages. These packages focus on external stability, including sliding, overturning, eccentricity and soil-bearing pressure. Member checks require an agreed expanded scope.
Can you compare different footing or wall dimensions?
Yes. Premium can compare up to three defined geometry, surcharge or groundwater cases. Supply complete dimensions and use the same soil basis for a meaningful comparison.
What if I do not have complete soil information?
A limited sensitivity study may be possible using clearly stated assumptions. Reliable conclusions depend on project-specific soil, groundwater, drainage and bearing information.
