If soil is a main component of an SRW structure, then it is necessary for wall designers to know and understand the properties of those soils. Soils are available a "near infinite" number of varieties and compositions. In business projects, SRW wall designers usually study the properties of the soils on a project web site from a soil boring etc. Knowledgeable civil or geotechnical engineers evaluate this data so as to predict a completed SRW’s performance. within the absence of detailed soils data, wall designers must build some assumptions regarding the soil properties in order to proceed. When assumptions about soils should be made, they are usually, and may be, conservative in order to preserve the mandatory safety factors for wall integrity. There are some soils that should never be employed in a SRW. an in depth discussion of all soil types and properties is beyond the scope of this manual. The determination of explicit soil suitability for use during a SRW rightfully belongs at intervals the realm of a trained and experienced civil or geotechnical engineer.
