[QUOTE="Doing it for the kids, post: 6280526, member: 50712"] so looking to build a traditional style oak framed garage about 10m wide by 7 deep. Access is from the top of the bank which falls away about 2m over the 7 m depth. I therefore need to build a retaining structure to hold back 2 m worth of retaining back fill, concrete pad then garage and contents off. My initial thought was to sink some big steels in the ground and slot some grain walling in the slots to act as a wall. Since been advised that this will not be strong enough so now looking at digging a trench and concreting in said grain walls to anchor full length in. I’ll probably make the pad a metre bigger than garage so corner posts don’t sit right on the corner. The sub base is decent malmestone. How does one work out how much thrust is exerted on the walls and thus what thickness etc is required? Structural engineers have been confused and un committed so Far! [/QUOTE]
