H = Height of the Retaining Wall, m = 4.63 m

= Soil Density, kN/m3 = 18 kN/m3

= Angle of Friction of Soil = 33

= Angle of Friction Between Soil and Abutment = 16.5

i = Backfil Slope Angle = 0 (Level Backfill) = 0

= Slope of Soil Face = 0 (Vertical Rear Face of Stem) = 0

= Seismic Angle of Friction of Soil = 21.83

A = Acceleration Coefficient = 0.267
