1) Active Earth Pressure

COS β- COS2 β - COS2 ф ф 30

Ka = COS β
COS β+ COS2 β - COS2 ф β 26.56

COS β = COS 26.56 = 0.895 COS ф = COS 30 = 0.866

SIN β = SIN
26.56 = 0.447 TAN β = TAN 26.56 = 0.50

Ka = 0.535
 Earth pressure P = (Ka*y*H2)/2, acting parallel to the surcharge

H =
3.74+0.15 3.89 M

Pa =
72.86106 KN

It's horizontal and vertical components are :-

PH =
Pa*cos B 65.211 KN

PV =
Pa*sin B 32.579 KN

5) Check for Stability

Various vertical loads acting on the retaining wall, their distances from overturning point O and the
moment of theses forces about O are shown in the table below.
