Cantilevered retaining walls are made from an internal stem of steel reinforced cast in place concrete or mortared masonry often in the shape of an inverted t.
Retaining wall steel reinforcement.
These walls cantilever loads like a beam to a large structural footing converting horizontal pressures from behind the wall to vertical pressures on the ground below.

Reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall analysis and design aci 318 14 reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls consist of a relatively thin stem and a base slab.
Calculate the lateral earth.
The base is divided into two parts the heel and toe.
Cut the vertical reinforcement steel bars for the lower storey so that they are flush with the top of that wall.
The stem may have constant thickness along the length or may be tapered based on economic and construction criteria.
Calculate the distance to steel and the area of the steel reinforcement for the toe section of the base of a concrete cantilever retaining wall.
