About this detail

A reinforced concrete retaining wall bears on a concrete footing reinforced with six number four lengthwise bars as shown and number five crosswise bars at sixteen inches on center. The ten-inch-thick concrete wall features vertical number five dowels at sixteen inches on center, horizontal number four bars at twelve inches on center, and a one-quarter-inch roughened surface joint at the footing interface. A twelve-inch free-draining granular fill zone backs the wall, incorporating two-inch-diameter weep holes spaced at ten feet on center. At the top and mid-height, the wall interfaces with a concrete slab-on-grade separated by felt per architectural drawings, with continuous number five top and bottom reinforcement running through the upper slab section. Horizontal reinforcement is left undowelled into the main structural wall per drawing notes, and a guardrail is coordinated per architectural details.
