The T-Type cantilever retaining wall, often referred to as a T-wall, is a structural element designed to retain soil and stabilize slopes. It's characterized by its T-shape, which consists of a vertical stem and a horizontal base that is divided into two parts: the heel (the part of the base under the backfill) and the toe (the portion extending on the opposite side). This configuration provides added stability by leveraging the weight of the backfill over the heel. Commonly constructed from reinforced concrete, T-Type cantilever retaining walls are engineered to withstand lateral soil pressure and are suitable for higher retaining requirements.
T-Type Cantilever Retaining Walls are constructed with typical heights of 4’-25’ (1.22-7.62 m), base depths of 2.5’-15’ (.76-4.57 m), and wall thicknesses between 8”-24” (20.3-61 cm). T-Type Cantilever Retaining Walls are often created at an angle of 2-6 degrees. Retaining wall lengths vary as needed.
