Retaining and Flood Walls

This manual provides guidance for the safe design and economical
construction of retaining and flood walls. This manual is intended primarily
for retaining walls which will be subjected to hydraulic loadings such as
flowing water, submergence, wave action, and spray, exposure to chemically
contaminated atmosphere, and/or severe climatic conditions. For the design of
retaining walls which will not be subjected to hydraulic loadings or severe
environmental conditions as described above, TM 5-818-1 may be used for
computing the loadings and evaluating the stability of the structure.
