Abstract
This paper provides details pertaining to computer integrated
design systems for low height cantilever retaining walls. A
database is created by modifying an existing design chart
with numerical analysis. This database then represents a
central pool for all the information involved in the modeling
of a complete design. All of the operation information is
under interactive graphic control. Using this system, one can
obtain optimum dimensions for designs quickly, satisfying
any predefined safety factors. Viewing the profile of a design
at any stage in the process is another benefit to this system.
In the case of an existing retaining wall structure, in order to
meet assigned safety factors, this system can also evaluate
the force required on anchors to reinforce the structure.
Discussions on the sloped base design of a retaining wall are
also included in this study.
