Abstract: In recent times, ecological challenges due to increasing global environmental crisis have posed many natural hazards which are growing by the day. The study area in this research is not an exceptional case due to increasing slope gully erosion by the downstream river. This action has over the years encroached the buildings upstream and causing serious destruction to buildings. In this study, RAM Elements software program was used in designing and analyzing the cantilever retaining wall subsequent to geotechnical analysis of the backfill and foundation soils. Soil index properties, shear strength tests, and bearing capacity analysis were conducted to determine the appropriate design parameters.......
Key Word: Retaining wall, RAM-Elements, lateral earth pressure, bearing capacity, angle of internal friction
