The driving forces are from the flood water forces and the restoring forces include a foreseen

backfill.

Let angle of friction = 30 0 for fill material and 400 for rock

Let friction coefficient, = 0.7 for rock base

Unit weight of water, w, = 10 kN/ m3

Unit weight of soil, s = 18 kN/ m3

Water Pressure = pa = w.H =52 kN/m2

Water forces =PA= w.H2 =105.2 kN / metre width acting at 1/3 from base

Passive Side = assuming H = 2.5 m submerged fill, Kp = 3.0

PP = sub.H2Kp = .5 x (20-10) x 2.52 x 3

=93.75 kN per metre width

a) STABILITY CALCULATIONS

overturning
TOTAL, 207.4 417.5

Eccentricity, e of base from toe = M/W = 417.5/207.4 =0.2 m from toe

1. Overturning stability
Active moment =105.2 x 5.2/3 =182 kNm

FOS against overturning =417.5/182=2.3>1.5, OK

2. FOS against sliding
Fos = (W + PP)/PA = 0.7X 207.44+93.75) /105.8
=2.25 > 1.5, OK
3. Bearing Capacity
The wall sits on rock and bearing capacity is assumed satisfactory
The forces on the base are:

fa, fb = W/b (1+-6e/b)

=76.7 kN/m2 and 38.7 kN/m2 respectively
All are far below the bearing capacity of rock.
