2. Analyse the subsoil conditions: Soil Profile;
3. Establish surcharge loads: railway, highway, building and other structures, earthquake force;
4. Select type and tentative proportion of wall;
5. Compute earth pressure and surcharge pressure;
6. Analyse the structural stability;
7. Analyse the foundation stability;
8. Design structural elements;
