Reinforced cantilever walls have an economic height range of 1.200 to 6.000 m; walls in excess of this height have been economically constructed using prestressing techniques.

Max Hight of cantilever retaining wall 6 m if height more then 6m then counterfort retaining wall is required. Counterfort wall more efficient to reduce earth pressure.

Generally, economical up to about 25 ft in height.
Use much less concrete than gravity walls, but require more design and careful construction.
Counter fort retaining walls are more economical than cantilever walls for heights above 25 ft.
