Abstract: Three-dimensional finite element analysis has been carried out in order to study the response of retaining walls subjected to lateral earth pressure using ABAQUS/CAE. This study consists of analysis and design of cantilever, gravity type, and precast concrete retaining wall. It also shows comparative study such as distribution of stresses along with the deflection throughout the height of the retaining walls. The mathematical analysis procedure is adopted that entails selecting dimensions to meet the requirements of several codes and then evaluating the stability of the entire whenever the backfill load works on the wall. The stability of retaining walls in terms of sliding and overturning is evaluated. The three specified walls are then investigated using the ABAQUS software, and their behaviour is studied. In this analysis process, two components of the formed concrete wall; one is a base plate and another component is a cantilever sandwich panel, were projected. A headed anchor joins the prefabricated cantilever wall to the base plate, keeping the slab and wall together while also maintaining their integrity in the specific positions. The system requires a unique construction method for final assembly. Mainly two steps were followed for analysis: first, the different components for shear and bending moments, namely, heel and footplates, were designed, and then, the stability of the whole structure under load was evaluated. The ABAQUS program was used to simulate and analyse the stability of various walls, including traditional and precast concrete retaining walls. It was found on the basis of the observation that the prefabricated retaining wall is the most viable option out of the three as the stress and deflection in the former type are lowered.
