Design a cantilever retaining wall (T type) to retain earth for a height of 4m. the backfill is horizontal. The density of soil is 18kN/m’. Safe bearing capacity of soil is 200 KN/m’. Take the co-efficient of friction between concrete and soil as 0.6. The angle of repose is 30 degrees. Use M20 concrete and Fe415 steel Solution Data: h'= 4m, SBC= 200 kW/m’, y= 18 KN/m’, 1=0.6, y=30° To fix the height of retaining wall, H Heh! +Dr Depth of foundation Rankine’s formula: De= cies SBC y [itsing] oy 1.23m say 1.2m, therefore H= 5.2m Proportioning of wall Thickness of base slab= (1/10 to 1/14) H, 0.52m to 0.43m, say 450mm, ‘Width of base slab=b = (0.5 to 0.6) H, 2.6m to 3.12m say 3m Toe projection= pj= (1/3 to %4)H, Im to 0.75m say 0.75m Provide 450 mm thickness for the stem at the base and 200 mm at the top Design of stem To find Maximum bending moment at the junction Phas % ¥ 1/3 X 18 X 4.15°=67.68 KN ‘M= Py h/3 = 0.333 x 18x 4.75. /6= 107.1 Nm My= 1.5 x M= 160.6 KN Taking 1m length of wall, My/bd= 1.004 < 2.76, URS (Here d=450- effective cover=450-50=400 mm) To find steel P=0.295% <0.96% A= 0.295x1000%400/100 = 1180 mm? #12 @ 90 < 300 mm and 3d ok Ag provided= 1266mm" Development length La=47 9g =47 x12 = 564mm Curtailment of bars Curtail 50% steel from top (ayy =%(hy/4.75) =%4, hy = 3.36m_ Actual point of cutoff= 3.36-Lg=3.36-47 Qpar = 3.36-0.564 = 2.74m from top.
