ELAC Softball Field Retaining Wall Design: Ana Sierra Javier Valdez Kenneth Jones

This document presents the design of a retaining wall for the ELAC softball field. It includes cross sections of the site showing the slope of the hill, calculations of the area and force on different sections, and centroid and moment calculations to design a wall that can withstand the pressure. It notes the height and cross section of the designed wall, observations during the design process, and references used.
