Question
Is there any simple guide on how to design a gabion retaining wall?

Answer
Hello Larry,

Can't say I know much about this particular topic, I only know really  theoretical knowledge based on pile retaining walls, however, I did find some in-depth design guides for gabion walls which might be of some assistance. Please find these links below;

Good luck.

Expertise

Willing to answer all civil engineering-related questions through the undergraduate level. I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework/assignment I will do my best to try and guide you in the right direction. Also willing to give advice on issues not related to study although related to civil engineering.

Experience

I have been studying for 5 years in Civil Engineering and have a sound knowledge of various civil engineering subjects. I have also worked as a consultant in the Roads and Highways Department for Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM).
