Design of Basement Wall:

Design constants:
Cantilever retaining wall
fy= 500 N/mm2
fck = 25 N/mm2
Specific wt. of soil (γs) = 18 kN/m3
Unit wt. of concrete (γc)= 25 kN/m3
Angle of repose of soil (f) = 30 °
Surcharge (ws)= 10 kN/m2 (Considering light weight vehicle like
mini truck)
Design:
Since foundation depth of wall is provided same as that of building, stability analysis (check against
overturning, sliding and shear) was not done, as foundation width provided for wall is much more than
required

Detail of Design:
Height of Basement wall (H) = 3.66 m
Adopt overall depth of wall (D) = 230 mm
Effective depth(d) = 180 mm
Ground level from base of wall (D) = 2.74 mm
Load Calculation:
Weight of wall per unit length = 21.045 kN/m

Since weight of wall gives the insignificant moment, this can be neglected in design portion.

Now,
Coeff. of active earth pressure (Ka) = (1-sinØ/1+sinØ)
= 0.333
Considering 1m length of wall
Horizontal force due to soil (Ps) = 0.5*Ka*γs*H *1
2

= 22.5228 kN
Lever arm, Z1 = H/3
= 0.913 m
Horizontal force due to surcharge (Pq) = Ka*ws*H
= 9.133333 kN
Lever arm, Z2 = H/2
= 1.370 m
Total resultant horizontal force, P = Ps + Pq
= 31.65613 kN per unit length

Point of application of resultant

Z = (Ps*Z1+Pq*Z2)/(Ps+Pq)
= 1.045 m from the base of wall

Total moment at base = P*Z

= 33.08349 kN-m

Taking partial FOS = 1.5

Factored moment , Mu = 49.62524 kN-m

Calculation of Main reinforcement bar

Area of steel required per m length is given by
Ast required= 687 mm2
Adopt , 12 mm dia @ 150 mm C/C
Ast provided= 753.9822 mm2
Hence, Ast Provided > Ast Required

Shear Design of Basement wall:

Given ultimate shear 47.4842 KN
Shear Stress: tv 0.264 N/mm2
percentage of tension reinforcement 0.42 %
β 6.93
Concrete Shear Strength: tc 0.455 N/mm2 > tv
Hence Shear reinforceent isn't required
Check,
Minimum required Ast = 0.12%*b*D (Clause 32.5.a (1))
= 276 mm2
Hence, Ast Provided > Ast Minimum

Maximum Diameter (Clause 26.5.2.2)

Max. dia. =D/8
= 28.75 mm
Max. dia. > dia. Provided

Spacing (Clause 32.5.b)

Maximum Spacing = 3*d or 450 mm
= 540 mm
Max. Spacing > Spacing provided
OK
Distribution bar (i.e, Horizontal reinforcement)
Area of distribution bar = 0. 2% *b* d ( IS 456-2000 CL.32.5.C(1))
= 360 mm2
Adopt , 10 mm dia @ 150 mm C/C
Ast provided= 523.5988 mm2
Hence, Ast Provided > Ast Required OK
