Terrain profile
Terrain behind construction has the slope 1: 5.67 (slope angle is 10.00 °).
 
Water influence
Ground water table is located below the structure.
 
Resistance on front face of the structure
Resistance on front face of the structure: 1/3 pass., 2/3 at rest
Soil on front face of the structure - SUELO CONTENIDO
Soil thickness in front of structure h = 0.50 m
Terrain in front of structure is flat.
 
Settings of the stage of construction
Design situation : permanent
The wall is free to move. Active earth pressure is therefore assumed.
