4 Spacing between the reinforcements (as per IRC SP: 102-2014 sec0on:5.2)
Ver cal spacing of Primary reinforcement should not exceed 800 mm.
Maximum height of the facing above uppermost reinforcement and below lowermost reinforcement does not exceed 400 mm.
Retaining walls shall be designed to withstand a live load surcharge equivalent to 1.2m height of earthfill. (As per IRC 78:2014 Cl 710.6.9)
Self weight of the reinforced fill V1 = Length of the reinforcement x Hd x Unit weight of the fill x PF
Dead load surcharge over reinforced fill V2 = Dead load x Length of the reinforcement x PF
Traffic surcharge over reinforced fill V3 = Live load x Length of the reinforcement x PF
Dead load due to the weight of the crash barrier V4 = Strip load x Width of the strip load x PF
Self weight of the retained soil fill H1 = ½ x Hd2 x unit weight of the retained fill x Ka (retained fill) x PF
Dead load surcharge over retained fill H2 = Dead load x Hd x Ka (retained fill) x PF
Due to the weight of the crash barrier = V4 x Width of the strip load/2
