Q. I am interested in documents that apply to designing a reinforced concrete retaining wall. What is MNL-17 and does it provide more required information that goes along with the code requirements? A. MNL-17 is a document that provides additional explanatory text, design examples that illustrate ACI 318 code provisions, and design aids that assist with the use of ACI 318. There are no additional requirements in MNL-17 that are not in ACI 318. Note that Chapter 12 of MNL-17 specifically covers retaining walls.
