Descrição

Cantilever Wall. This type of wall tends to creep "out of line" because of variations in soil properties (active pressure and passive resistance). To a degree, this can be compensated for by the use of a heavy cap to stiffen the wall and to increase the radii of curvature of the differential movements which occur. Alternately, consider increasing embedment of the toe in order to reduce total movement, or limit use of a cantilever wall to areas having compact, granular soils. Whatever is done however, a straight line is unlikely to be maintained. Some "sinkage" of the upland should be expected as the ground settles to fill the void resulting from the wall movement.
