Earth Retaining Structures

Earth retaining structures are engineered systems designed to hold back or support soil and prevent it from collapsing or sliding. They are used in constructing foundations, terraces, retaining walls, and basements, especially on sloped or uneven land. These structures work by resisting lateral earth pressure through various means such as reinforced walls, anchored systems, or retaining walls made of concrete, steel, or other materials. Proper design ensures safety, stability, and durability, allowing effective land use and preventing erosion or landslides in construction projects.
