The document discusses the design process and calculations for a counterfort retaining wall, including preliminary dimensions, stability checks, and pressure diagrams.

The steps discussed include determining preliminary dimensions, checking stability against overturning, sliding and pressure at the toe, and creating a pressure diagram.

The stability is checked against overturning by calculating moments, against sliding by calculating resisting and driving forces, and against maximum pressure at the toe.
