A retaining wall is built to retain an earthen embankment behind it. In essence it is a structure which does not allow earth or any other material behind it to spill into the area in front of it. It takes up the load of such an embankment. It is used to retain highway embankments, railway embankments. It is primarily a highway / railway structure which retains an embankment behind it. It is made from r.c.c., stone / brick masonry, even in prestressed concrete.
A Shear Wall is a wall made up of R.C.C., or Prestressed Concrete or at times with engineered structural quality bricks. It is used in tall buildings to resist lateral forces like wind or seismic forces. It acts together with R.C.C.framed structure. Even if R.C.C.frames are not there to resist the vertical loads, the Shear Wall can take up, if designed for it, vertical loads along with lateral loads. To be economical, it is used in mostly tall building s where the lateral forces dominate. Usual locations are around staircase wells or around Lift shafts.
