NAME: Jason G. Dela Rosa Score : _________________

INSTRUCTOR: Engr. Timoteo Bagundol June 14, 2021
Due Date: _______________

PROBLEM:

Design a retaining wall based on the following conditions:

Design Considerations:
1. Depth of backfill = 5 m.
2. Live load surcharge = 22 KPa.
3. Base of wall is located 1.3 m below grade.
4. Weight of backfill = 17 kN/m3
5. Coefficient of friction between the base and soil = 0.60
6. Angle of friction of the backfill = 30o
7. Allowable net soil pressure on the base of footing = 250 kPa
8. fc’ = 28 MPa, fy = 415 MPa
9. Unit weight of concrete = 23.5 kN/m3
10. Use batter of 20 mm per meter in front face of the wall.
Required Outputs:
1. Dimension of stem.
2. Dimension of base.
3. Main reinforcement in the stem and base.
4. Temperature and shrinkage bars in stem and base.
5. Check factor of safety against sliding.
6. Check factor of safety against overturning.
7. Details showing the layout of bars.
