RETAINING WALL DESIGN
This information bulletin establishes requirements for the design of retaining walls. L.A.B.C. Sections
1610.1 and 1807 .2 cover the design of retaining walls as follows:
1610.1 General. Basement, foundation and retaining walls shall be designed to resist
lateral soil loads. Soil loads specified in Table 1610.1 shall be used as the minimum
design lateral soil loads unless specified otherwise in a soil investigation report
approved by the building official. Basement walls and other walls in which horizontal
movement is restricted at the top shall be designed for at-rest pressure. Retaining walls
free to move and rotate at the top are permitted to be designed for active pressure.
Design lateral pressure from surcharge loads shall be added to the lateral earth
pressure load. Design lateral pressure shall be increased if soils with expansion
potential are present at the site.
Exception: Basement walls extending not more than 8 feet (2438 mm) below grade
and supporting flexible floor systems shall be permitted to be designed for active
pressure.
1807 .2 General. Retaining walls shall be designed to ensure stability against
overturning, sliding, excessive foundation pressure and water uplift. Retaining walls
shall be designed for a safety factor of 1.5 against sliding and overturning per 1807.2.3.
However, these sections of the code do not address the following three items:
1. Design fluid pressures for retaining walls supporting retained soil that is other than level
backfill
2. Methods of determining surcharge loads on walls
3. Criteria for accepted engineering practice for design of retaining walls
Therefore, this information bulletin is written to address these items. Alternate design requirements
may be approved in conjunction with a soil and/or geology report approved by the Department.
I. GENERAL REQUIREMENT
Retaining walls shall be designed to resist the lateral pressure of the retained material determined in
accordance with accepted engineering principles.
As • covered entity undar Tille II of the Amertcans with Disabilities~ the Cily of Los Angeles does not discnminate on the basis of disability and, upon request, will provide
reasonable ecc:ammodation to ensure equal access to Its programs, seNices and lldivities. For efficient handling ol lnformetion Internally and in the internet, conversion to this
new format of code related and administrative lnfonnlllion bulletins including MGD and RGA that were pr8\llously issued wil affow flexibility and timely dlstr1buUon of lnfonnatlon to the public.
Page 1 of 4
'1
P/BC 2011-083
The soil characteristics and design criteria necessary for such a determination shall be obtained
through investigation, subsurface exploration, analyses and report by a soils engineer, subject to the
department's approval.
EXCEPTION: Freestanding walls which are not over 12 feet (3660 mm) in height may be
designed in accordance with the requirements stipulated in this information bulletin.
II. DESIGN FLUID PRESSURES FOR RETAINING WALLS SUPPORTING RETAINED SOIL
THAT IS OTHER THAN LEVEL
Walls which retain drained earth and come within the limits of the exception above may be designed
for an assumed earth pressure equivalent to that exerted by a fluid weighing not less than shown in
Table No. I. A vertical component equal to one third of the horizontal force so obtained may be
assumed at the plane of contact between the retained soil and wall surface when considering the total
resisting moment taken at the toe of the wall. Such a vertical component will not be permitted when
filter fabric is used behind retaining walls.
The depth of the retained earth shall be the vertical distance below the ground surface measured at
the wall face for stem design or measured at the heel of the footing for overturning and sliding.
Ill. METHODS OF DETERMINING SURCHARGE LOADS ON WALLS
Any superimposed loading, except retained earth, shall be considered as surcharge and provided for
in the design. Uniformly distributed loads may be considered as equivalent added depth of retained
earth. Surcharge loading due to continuous or isolated footings shall be determined by the following
formula or by an equivalent method approved by the Superintendent of Building.

The angle in radians whose tangent is equal to hlx.
Loads applied within a horizontal distance equal to the wall stem height, measured from the back face
of the wall, shall be considered as surcharge.
For isolated footings having a width parallel to the wall less than 3 feet (914 mm), "f?' may be
reduced to one-sixth the calculated value.
The resultant lateral force "R" shall be assumed to be uniform for the length of footing parallel to the
wall and to diminish uniformly to zero at the distance "x' beyond the ends of the footing.
Vertical pressure due to surcharge applied to the top of the wall footing may be considered to spread
uniformly within the limits of the stem and planes making an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical.
IV. CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICE FOR DESIGN OF RETAINING
WALLS
a. Bearing Pressure and Overturning
The maximum vertical bearing pressure under any retaining wall shall not exceed that allowed
by Division 18 except as provided for by a special soil investigation. The resultant of vertical
loads and lateral pressures shall pass through the middle one third of the base.
b. Lateral Pressures
Retaining walls shall be restrained against sliding by lateral sliding resistance of the base
against the earth, by lateral bearing against the soil, or by a combination of the two. Allowable
lateral bearing and lateral sliding resistance values shall not exceed those allowed in Division
18 except as provided by a special soil investigation.
When used, keys shall be assumed to lower the plane of lateral sliding resistance and the
depth of lateral bearing to the level of the bottom of the key. Lateral bearing pressures shall be
assumed to act on a vertical plane located at the toe of the footing.
As • covered entity under Title II of the Americans with Oisablitles AD., the City of Los Angeles doer. not discriminate on Iha basis of dlsablllty and, upon request, will provide
rNsonable acoommodatlon lo ensure equal acceas to its programs, services and aclMtiea. For efflCient handling of infonnatlon intamally and In the ln1emet, conversion to this miw format of oode related and administrative Information bulletins Including MGD and RGA lhat were previously Issued wtl allow flexibility and timely distribution of Information lo the public.

V. SPECIAL CONDITION
Whenever, in the opinion of the Superintendent of Building, the adequacy of the foundation material
to support a wall is questionable, an unusual surcharge condition exists such as seepage pressure, or
whenever the retained earth is so stratified or of such a character as to invalidate normal design
assumptions, the Superintendent of Building may require a special soil investigation before approving
any permit for such a wall.
Additionally, unless a soil report is submitted to and approved by the Department indicating that
expansive soils do not exist, the footings for all retaining walls must extend a minimum of 24 inches
below the natural and finish grades in accordance with the requirements contained in 18 P/BC 2011-
116 for expansive soil conditions.

Where the surface slope of the retained earth varies, the design slope shall be obtained by
connecting a line from the top of the wall to the highest point on the slope whose limits are
within the horizontal distance from the stem equal to the stem height of the wall.
The equivalent fluid weight shall not be less than that determined using table 1610.1 of the
2011 LABC.
As 8 covered entity under Title II of Iha Americana v.flh Disabilities Ad, the City of Los Angeles does not disaimlnate on the basis of disabHlty and, upon request, will provtde
