Height of anchor h1 = 4.00 m


Depth to top of anchor d1 = 0.50 m
Length of tie rod L = 12.00 m
Height of front wall H = 12.00 m
Force in Tie rod T = 132.4 kN/m
Internal angle of friction of retained soil ϕ = 30 °
Depth of toe of anchor h = 4.50 m
Coefficient of lateral active pressure Ka = 0.33
Coefficient of lateral passive pressure Kp = 3.00
Submerged Unit weight of soil λSub = 8.00 kN/m3
Depth of intersection between active failure plane of front wall and passive failure h2 = 1.1788 m
