The use of wsdot standard plan reinforced concrete retaining walls and traffic barrier details for reinforced concrete retaining wallsshall be limited as follows.
Typical backfill and drainage detail.
Heavy equipment shall maintain a distance away from the wall equal to the wall s height.
Wall types 1 2 7 and 8 may be used if no traffic barrier is attached on top of the wall.
Reinforced concrete cantilever types of retaining wall are recommended for heights up to 7 m.
Care shall be taken to avoid exerting large impact forces on the wall.
