| Free Standing Masonry and Concrete Wall Design Sheet |
Generally speaking, any wall that sustains significant lateral soil pressure is a retaining wall. However, the term is usually used with reference to a cantilever retaining wall, which is a freestanding wall without lateral support at its top.
