Cantilever retaining walls are constructed from reinforced concrete. A relatively thin stem and a base slab are their special characteristics. The base is also divided into two parts, the heel and toe. The heel is that part of the base which is under the backfill. The toe is the other part of the base.
These walls utilize much less concrete than monolithic gravity walls, but they demand more design and careful construction. They are generally economical up to about 25 ft. in height. The fact that they can be precast in a factory or even formed on site makes them a preferred option.

The design of these retaining walls is affected by:
i. Wall height
ii. Soil type
iii. Sloping land below and/ or above the retaining wall
iv. Loads above as well as behind the retaining wall
