RE: Cantilevered Retaining Wall - Rule of Thumb

Greetings!

Cal Trans has standard drawings for various heights.

 

One alternative is to support the wall on drilled cast in place concrete piers.  No toe or heel required.

Greetings all-

 

Does anyone have a rule of thumb for proportioning propertyline cantilevedered retaining walls? My clients share a property line - one on the down slope who would like to minimize the size of the toe and the other up slope who would like to minimize the heel / size of the excavation. What to do??
