A foundation wall system comprising:
- a foundation wall of a known height, thickness, and length;
- a plurality of lateral stiffeners structures integrated into the foundation wall at predetermined location along the length of the foundation wall.
A method of constructing a foundation wall, comprising:
- identifying a height and a length of a foundation wall member and calculating a load applied to the foundation wall member based on a backfill soil type and soil grade height from a base of the foundation wall member, wherein the calculated applied load is above a threshold value, integrating at least one lateral stiffener into the foundation wall member, wherein the position of the lateral stiffener creates segments of the foundation wall member and recalculating the applied load across each of the segments of the foundation wall member and determining if the applied load is above the threshold value.
