Retaining wall design

Geometry

Thick. (t) = 400 mm

width (B) = 1000 mm

depth (D) = 400 mm

Cover = 50 mm

Eff. Depth (d) = 350 mm

 Loading

ht. of wall = 10100 mm

Ka = 0.5

Density of soil = 20 KN/m3 soil is considered partially saturated

surcharge = 10 KN/m2

Fck = 30 MPa

Fy = 500 MPa

Fy = 415 MPa
effective
= Ka x density of soil x ht. of wall
pressure

Design

Design for Flexure

Mmax. = 125

Mumax = 187.5 KN.m

Check for depth required

For Fy =500

Mulim. = 0.133 Fck x b x d2

Mcap. = 488.77500 KN.m

Mcap > Mumax hence provided depth is sufficent For flexure

Ast req. = 1231.53 mm2

Provide T20 @ 100 mm C/C

Ast prov. = 2086.67 mm2

Pt prov = 0.596 %

Check for shear

Vmax. = 343 KN

Vumax. = 514.5 KN

Shear stress
= Vu/Bxd
acting (Tv)

= 1.47 MPa

For Fck = 30 and Pt = 0.38 %.

Shear resisted
by RCC = 0.56 MPa
member (Tc)
Tc < Tv required shear Reinforcement

Vus = 364000 N

= 364 KN

Asv /Sv req. = Vus / 0.6 * Fy * d
