Abstract: Retaining
walls are designed based on different approaches and
most of the time they are oversized and are uneconomical
to cast. Most of researchers have developed routine to
optimize the design of retaining wall. In this research
paper, study of different techniques is performed and
concluded the simplest algorithm can analyze the
cantilever wall with initial design input satisfying
both internal and external constraints.
