Hello Fellow Structural Engineers,

 

Should I epoxy drill dowel vert dowels to add a 1'-9" high ret.wall on top of a 9'-9" ret. wall. ?

Or should I design the overall ret. wall height of 11'-6" ?

The ret wall is 8" concrete...

The 1'-9" height applies to only 40 linear feet...

The typical ret wall height is 9'-9"

This is for a channel project in Las Vegas, NV

What should I do ?

 

Also, yesterday, I did not clarify my other question very well---I apologize....

A future 14" thick box culvert slab will bear on top of channel wall...

Any recommendations on how to connect slab to wall....Could I use couplers or epoxy dowels ?

I need to come up with a detail and I am stuck as usual ? Please help
