Abstract

This study conducted a cost analysis of Cantilever retaining wall design using British standards vs Eurocode for a 3.3m high retaining wall. Utilizing Tekla Tedds Software, separate analysis and design were performed for each design code, focusing on the area of reinforcements required, provided and compared the cost analysis of the Area of reinforcements provided, with British standards serving as the control. Results indicate that British standards yielded a higher area of reinforcements required, averaging 39.8%, and an Area of reinforcements provided averaging 32.1%, compared to Eurocode. Additionally, the cost analysis of the Area of reinforcements provided showed that Eurocode is more economical, with an average percentage of 66%. these findings suggest that Eurocode offers a more cost-effective design approach for cantilever retaining walls than British standards.
