Retaining structures hold back soil or other loose material where an abrupt change in ground elevationoccurs. The retained material or backfill exerts a push on the structure and thus tends to overturn or slide it, or both. Thecantilever is the most common type of retaining wall and is used for walls in the range of 3to 6m in height. This studypresents analyses and design of cantilever retaining wall which is made from an internal stem of steel-reinforced, castin-place concrete (often in the shape of an inverted T). In this work a detailed analyses and design for this type of wallswhich include estimation of primary dimensions of the wall, then these dimensions were checked. The factor of safetyagainst sliding, overturning and bearing were calculated. the shear resistance for the base, the tension stresses in thestem andthe tension stresses for the base were checked. Calculation of reinforcement for each part of the wall were done.All analysis and design are based on the ACI code.
