Table 14 Dimensions of walls and abutments Structure type Minimum reinforcement length Walls with normal retaining function 0.7H Gm minimum) Bridge abutments The greater of (0.6H +2) mor7m ‘Trapezoidal walls and abutments”) 0.7H for reinforcements in top half of structure, 0.4H for reinforcements in bottom half of structure or 3m minimum ‘Stepped walls and abutments 0.7H in top half of structure, see Figure 20c) for longer strips at base Walls subject to low thrust from retained fill such 06H or 3m minimum as negative backslope or embedded walls, see Figure 15g) and Figure 15)) Low height walls ie. less than 1.5 m Subject to particular considerations 3 For trapezoidal walls the vertical spacing of the reinforcements should obey the following: UH < 055 : S/H $0,125 055 < UH < 0.65 : S/H 0.167 0.65 < L/H < 0.75: S/H 0.222 where S, is the vertical spacing of reinforcements; L_ isthe length of reinforcement at any level; H is the height of structure defined in Figure 20b)..
