Design for RR Stone Masonary Retaining Wall

General Data :
Finish Ground Level assumed = 289 M
Bed Level of the River = 284 M
Depth of Wall below the Bed Level = 0 M
Additional Height above the FGL = 0 M
Total Height of Retaining wall = 5 M
SBC Considered at Base Level = 150 Kn/m2

Section of Retaining Wall:

h1

Total Height of Wall = h1+h2+h3+h4

h2 Total Width of Base = w1+w2+w3+w4

Overturning Moment due to Soil = 138.89 Kn-M/m

This is assumed that the Dead loads are reduced to 10% to take into account the situation where they might had
been over-estimated

Check for ƩMr

= 3.053 OK

Maximum sliding for at the base of wall Ws = 83.33 Kn/m

Check for ƩWr.µ

Overturning ƩWs

Check For Base Pressure

The point where the Load is acting x 1.87 M
Width of Base slab b = 3.15 M
Eccentricity e= x-b/2 = 0.296 M

Check for Max Pressure

Pmax = W/b*(1+6e/b)
OK
= 125.01 Kn/m2

Check for Min Pressure

Pmin = W/b*(1-6e/b)
OK
= 34.891 Kn/m2
