 DEISGN OF BRICK RETAINING WALL
Wall Data :
Ht Of wall Above NGL = 3.5 m
Ht Of wall Above FGL = 0m
Depth of Foundation Below NGL = 1.2 m

SOIL DATE :
Density of Soil = 17 KN/m^3
Density of Stone = 25 KN/m^3
Angle in Interenal Friction = 30 Degree
Net Safe Bearing Capacity = 150 KN/m^2

Allowable Comressive stress in Masonary = 0.6 N/m^2

Frictional Cooefficent between Stone & Soil = 0.6

Surge Road = 0 KN/m^2

CHECK OF SLIDING :
Horizontal Earth Pressure (Fa ) = 63 KN/m
Total Certical Load (W) = 185.47 KN/m
Frictional Resistance (W x Us) = 111.28 KN/m

Factor of Safety Against Sliding = 1.8 > 1.2

CHECK FOR SAFE BEARING CAPACITY
Assuming the Trapezoidal distribution of pressure
P1+P2 = 157.85
P1+2P2 = 170.57
P2 = 12.72 KN/m^2
P1 = 145.13 KN/m^2
CHECK OF STRESS IN MASSONARY
The stress in the masonary are computed Just above the Intereface Between
Masonary and Foundation of concrete, f1 & f2 are the Stresses at Toe and Heel
Tip of the Masonary
f1 + f2 = 157.85
f1 +2f2 = 170.57
f1 = 12.72 KN/m^2
I.e 0.013 N/mm^2 > 0
SAFE
f2 = 145.13 KN/m^2
I.e 0.145 N/mm^2 < 0.6
