If soil is a main component of an SRW structure, then it is necessary for wall designers to grasp and understand the properties of those soils. Soils come in a "near infinite" variety of varieties and compositions. In commercial comes, SRW wall designers typically learn about the properties of the soils on a project web site from a soil boring test etc. Knowledgeable civil or geotechnical engineers evaluate this data in order to predict a completed SRW’s performance. in the absence of detailed soils information, wall designers must build some assumptions about the soil properties in order to proceed. When assumptions concerning soils should be made, they're usually, and may be, conservative so as to preserve the required safety factors for wall integrity. There are some soils that should never be employed in a SRW. a detailed discussion of all soil varieties and properties is beyond the scope of this manual. The determination of specific soil suitability for use in a very SRW rightfully belongs among the realm of a trained and experienced civil or geotechnical engineer.
