挡土墙的稳定性验算通常包括抗倾覆稳定性和抗滑移稳定性验算，当地基软弱时还要进行地基深层稳定验算。
The stability checking calculation of retaining wall usually includes the checking calculation of anti-overturning stability and anti-sliding stability. When the foundation is weak, the checking calculation of deep stability of foundation should be carried out.
传统上挡土墙稳定性分析常采用以安全系数为度量指标的定值法，但定值设计法无法考虑土的各项物理力学指标的随机性，导致在工程中某造型线  流水槽模具 景观石 检查井钢模具 保定通风管道 重庆窗帘 隔离墩模具 保定保洁公司些挡土墙按定值法估计的安全系数是足够的，而投入使用后却很快发生了破坏。对于将可靠度方法引入挡土墙的设计计算中，部分学者已经做了一些工作。
Traditionally, the fixed value method is often used to analyze the stability of retaining walls, but the fixed value design method can not consider the randomness of various physical and mechanical indexes of soil, which results in that the safety factors estimated by the fixed value method are sufficient for some retaining walls in engineering, but they are destroyed very quickly after being put into use. Some scholars have done some work on introducing reliability method into the design and calculation of retaining wall.
