Gravity type retaining walls have been traditionally used as retaining structures in fill areas. However, the footprint of gravity walls increases with increasing height, which may cause challenges in narrow area with limitations on base width. Inverted U-wall may provide an alternative to gravity wall system in areas with base width limitations. Moreover, the proposed system mainly provides cost benefit compared to cantilever or counterforted or gravity type retaining walls. It also provides movements smaller compared to other gravity wall types
