How do you design a piling wall reinforced concrete type retaining wall to hold soil?
Vsvnews
First off- account for drainage. I worked on a crew adding re-bar-reinforced concrete pilings to a concrete retaining wall in an Atlanta neighborhood filled with million dollar homes. The soil went right up against the retaining wall without any rock or other aggregate to help drain away any rainfall. We had to come in and drill a series of forty foot holes with about a foot diameter at an angle of 30 below horizontal. We then inserted threaded re-bar to the bottom of each hole and filled with concrete until it overflowed. After the concrete would set, we used a hydraulic jack and nut and pulled the re-bar tight against an iron plate on the outside of the wall; alternating tightening the nut, extending the jack, tightening the nut, and so on. Then we filled the holes to the top with more concrete.
Lesson- build it right the first time or it's going to be a pain in the rear later on.
Account for the type of soil and how it drains/retains water in order to determine the proper method and amount of aggregate necessary for the wall in question.
Then, depending on the size of the wall, use a re-bar reinforcement grid as a skeleton. Reference a structural engineering manual for the needed qualities.

What is a piling mat?
A Piling mat is the base or road way which the piling rig will travel on. the design of the piling mat is required to resist the forces from the piling rig during travelling and piling. A piling matt should be constructed of suitable inert material (i.e. not tennis balls).
How do you stop clay cliffs from collapsing?
You stop cliff collapse with things such as evetments, steel piling, rip rap and wooden retaining posts.
What is piling in construction?
Piling is a technique used in construction to create a deep foundation by driving piles into the ground to support structures and transfer loads to a deeper, more stable layer of soil or rock. It is commonly used in areas with weak or compressible soil to provide stability and prevent settling of buildings. Piling can be made of materials like concrete, steel, or timber.
