Designing a wall to prevent failure in bending requires a proper analysis of the soil loads and an appropriate structural design of the wall.

The addition of the egress well complicates the design because obstacles outside of the foundation such as a walkway might inhibit a well s placement.
If such obstacles are present in your home plan a new route for any pathway that would have to be disturbed by the construction.

Ce 437 537 spring 2011 retaining wall design example 1 8 design a reinforced concrete retaining wall for the following conditions.
In this example the structural design of the three retaining wall components is performed by hand.
Walls generally concrete block basement walls are built without reinforcing steel.
In seismic zones 2 3 and 4 ubc requires fully reinforced construction.
Soil bearing and stability 8.
Steel is required only if the soil exerts extreme lateral pressures loads are unusually heavy the basement is built more than 8 feet below grade or there s seismic risk.
A sideways force against a basement wall puts one face of the wall in tension see figure 1 next page and concrete s tensile strength is much lower than its compressive strength.
