Answers.comÂ® is making the world better one answer at a time. A cantilever wall is a free standing wall, meaning there is no support at the top of wall such as that given by a floor or roof diaphragm. Fences, property, or enclosure walls are typically cantilever walls.
A basement wall is thus one kind of retaining wall. But the term usually refers to a cantilever retaining wall, which is a freestanding structure without lateral support at its top. These are cantilevered from a footing and rise above the grade on one side to retain a higher level grade on the opposite side. The walls must resist the lateral pressures generated by loose soils or, in some cases, water pressures. Every retaining wall supports a âwedgeâ of soil. The wedge is defined as the soil which extends beyond the failure plane of the soil type present at the wall site, and can be calculated once the soil friction angle is known. As the setback of the wall increases, the size of the sliding wedge is reduced.
