Why do I see 6’ - 10’ retaining walls of homes being removed and replaced without any temporary shoring/support?
Post Body
I’m a civil engineer but obviously geotechnical isn’t my specialty. I always see these pretty big size retaining walls around houses in my area being replaced. And when they remove them, the soil is just standing there without anything holding it back. Is this common practice? I thought structures relied on the surrounding earth as well as what’s directly underneath.
