Hello, The retaining wall is a structure that is designed to resist the pressure exerted by the material behind it that may be soil or it could be fluid etc. as well. Here are some of the requirements that should meet by the designed retaining wall,

1. It should be structurally stable and must be safe against sliding and overtuning.

2. Its base pressure must not exceed the safe bearing capacity hold by the base material on which it rests.

3. It should be capable of resisting the maximum shear force and maximum bending moments at critical section.

4. Adequate drainage system must be so arranged for the drainage of water which may cause instability, so weep holes are constructed for drainage of excess water.

5. Proper joints should be made so as to encounter the thermal effect that causes expansion of joint and may cause cracking and leakage in the structure.

These are the common and important requirement that must be met by the retaining wall for its safety, however some other additional requirement basis othe requirements should also be fulfiled depend on the site and construction material etc.
