In order to design RC Retaining wall, Eurocode, EC7 have to be studied to check the difference between BS8002 and EC7.
As a conclusion, the Difference of BS and EC is that BS is more conservative on the Safety factor while EC is more conservative on the Safety factor impose on the loading.
Hence, we cannot use the factored loading by EC for the BS design as it will cause over-conservative design.
Designed a RC retaining wall based on BS8002 and checked using RCC Spreadsheet.
