There are many different types of retaining walls, but they are generally classified into two main categories: bottom‐up walls and top‐down walls. The earth pressure theories make the general assumption that the soil is at failure. The at‐rest earth pressure is the horizontal stress that exists in the soil under geostatic stresses and without displacement. When the backfill of a bottom‐up wall or the soil behind a top‐down wall has a high plasticity index or a high swell index, it is necessary to consider the soil shrink‐swell behavior in calculating the pressure diagram. Gravity walls are bottom‐up walls usually made of reinforced concrete. Mechanically stabilized earth walls are bottom‐up walls made mostly of soil with some reinforcement. Cantilever walls are top‐down walls, though they are sometimes confused with cantilever gravity walls. Anchored walls (or tieback walls) and strutted walls are top‐down walls.
