Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Retaining walls are not simple structures. They are engineered systems that integrate soil mechanics, structural design, drainage control, constructability, and long-term performance. When any one of these elements is misunderstood or ignored, failures occur-often years after construction.Structural Engineering Use Case: Retaining Wall Design & Construction presents a complete, real-world engineering workflow for designing and building a retaining wall, using a single, cohesive use case from initial site evaluation through long-term maintenance.Rather than treating retaining wall design as a collection of isolated formulas or generic details, this book follows the actual sequence used in professional practice. The reader is guided step by step through site conditions, topography, soil behavior, drainage impacts, wall system selection, structural calculations, construction detailing, inspections, permitting, liability, cost considerations, and long-term monitoring.This book includes: Site evaluation and topographic analysisApplied soil mechanics and geotechnical investigationDrainage and groundwater considerationsRetaining wall system selection and comparisonCode-based structural design using IBC, ASCE 7, and ACI 318Lateral earth pressure calculations and stability checksFull structural calculation packageConstruction sequencing, inspection checklists, and common mistakesPermit-grade drawing sets and CAD-style detailsFailure case studies tied to real design and construction errorsOwner decision guidance and long-term maintenance considerationsAll calculations, drawings, and details are presented in a professional, permit-style format consistent with engineering practice. While the book is comprehensive, it is not a substitute for licensed professional services. Instead, it is designed to clarify engineering workflow, highlight critical assumptions, and demonstrate how successful retaining wall projects are delivered in the real world.This volume is the first in the Structural Engineering Use Case series, which focuses on teaching engineering through complete, end-to-end project examples rather than abstract theory.Intended audience: Structural and civil engineersEngineering students and EITsContractors and inspectorsPlan reviewers and building officialsProperty owners seeking informed oversightIf you work with retaining walls-or want to understand how they should truly be designed and built-this book provides a clear, practical, and technically grounded reference.
