About this detail

A reinforced concrete stem wall, continuous footing, and a retaining wall schedule comprise this typical concrete retaining wall section. The foundation footing features longitudinal bottom reinforcement with three-inch clear cover and a continuous two-by-four shaped key at the stem interface. The wall stem incorporates vertical and horizontal reinforcement per the retaining wall schedule, along with dowels connecting to adjacent steps or ramps on grade without an expansion joint. Drainage provisions, backfill requirements, and over-excavation specifications are included per civil and geotechnical reports.
