R C C Retaining Walls

For greater pressures and high embankments or fillings R. C. C. retaining walls are used. These walls can withstand highly water-logged earth and water pressures. These walls are water tight. Construction of these walls is fast.
Design of these walls is precise and hence economical sections can be made. These walls can be speedily built and thus time and labour is saved.
The R. C. C. walls have a more sliding tendency than masonry walls. To check this the wall base is
sometimes provided with a key beam.
