The document calculates forces and moments on a retaining wall foundation due to earth pressures and live load surcharges. It determines the active earth pressure coefficient to be 0.297 based on soil properties. It then calculates the earth pressure intensity, force, and moment on the wall. It also calculates the live load surcharge intensity, force, and moment from a 1.2m soil fill on the heel side of the wall.

Earth Pressure Calculation
Backfill Soil Parameter Φ = Angle of internal friction = 30.00 degree = 0.52 Rad δ = Angle of friction between soil and concrete = 20.00 degree = 0.35 Rad I = Surcharge angle = 0.00 degree = 0.00 Rad α = Angle of wall face with horizontal = 90.00 degree = 1.57 Rad 3 γdry = Dry density of earth = 1.80 t/m
Coefficient of Active Earth Pressure
From Coulomb's theory of active earth pressure
Active earth presure Ka = sin 2 ( )
2 sin( ). sin( i ) sin . sin( ) 1 2 sin( ). sin( i ) Ka Dry = 0.297
LWL Condition: Top Level
Earth Pressure Intensity p1 = 0.297 x 1 x 1.8 2 = 0.535 t/m F1 = 0.5 x 0.535 x 1 x COS(20) = 0.251 t Lever Arm from base = 1.000 x 0.42 F1 1.0 = 0.42 m
Total Earth Pressure FE = 0.251 t/m
