This lecture covers the design and stability of different types of retaining walls, such as gravity walls, cantilever walls, and cellular walls. It explains the importance of factors like soil pressure, drainage, and wall material in ensuring the stability of these structures. The instructor discusses key concepts like active and passive earth pressure, overturning, and sliding mechanisms, providing insights into the analysis and design of retaining walls in geotechnical engineering.
