This project consists in the analysis and design of reinforced concrete cantilever retention walls. The purpose of this analysis and design is to develop construction drawings, as shown in Apendix 3, and have them ready to be used in emergency cases due to natural or man-made disasters. Possible emergency cases are landslides due to heavy rains, earthquakes, floods and explosions, between others. The cantilever retaining wall construction drawings can be used to build a retaining wall where a collapse or landslide has already occurred, and in places where there is not a soil retaining structure present and the possibility of a collapse exists. Due to the extent of the different scenarios contemplated, the analysis and design performed in the preparation of the construction drawings were developed with a Matlab computer program. For more details of the procedure to follow in order to use the program, please see Apendix 2.
