Cantilever – These walls provide support by the sheer strength of the sheets.
Braced and Anchored – These are necessary for high pressure situations, increasing retaining strength with lateral braces and anchors.
Soldier Piles – H-section pipes or piles are inserted into drilled holes.
Secant or Tangent Piles – Drilled out sections are filled will soil to stiffen the walls.
Structural Slurry Walls – Trenches are dug and filled with concrete as an alternative to steel.
