Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to(typically a steep, near-vertical or vertical slope). They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often inareas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely andengineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses. A retaining wall is a structuredesigned and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil, when there is a desired change in ground elevation thatexceeds the angle of repose of the soil. The walls must resist the lateral pressures generated by loose soils or, in somecases, water pressures
