A retaining wall calculator estimates the materials needed (blocks, concrete, drainage) for a wall designed to hold back soil or create level terraces. Wall stability depends critically on height, soil pressure, and drainage.

Stapsgewijze handleiding

1. 1Calculate wall face area: length × height
2. 2Number of block courses = wall height / block height
3. 3Blocks per course = wall length / block length
4. 4Total blocks = courses × blocks per course + 10% waste
5. 5For walls over 1.2m, engineering calculations are required for safety
