Design of Stone Masonry Breast Wall
This design notes presents the design calculation for stone masonry breast wall for support to rock slope.Stone Masonry wall
has been designed considering Base pressure of 6t/m2. Permissible tension in Stone masonry shall be as per IRC:40.
Tension at bottom of foundation is not allowed as masonry structure but tension within the section has been kept upto the
permissible giver in IRC:40
Angle of wall friction has been considered as per book author "Joseph E. Bowles"
Reference table is shown below
In design of Stone masonry wall Friction angle considered as Angle of internal friction of back filling material i.e. φ= 32 O

Design Data
(i) Material Masonry = Masonry
3
(ii) Density of soil = 2.00 t/m
(iii) Angle of Internal friction = 32.00 deg

(iv) Density of wall = 2.20 t/m
(v) Angle of wall friction = 21.33 deg
2
(vi) S. B. C. at founding level = 6.00 t/m
(vii) Coefficient of friction at founding level = 0.50
(viii) Live load surcharge * = 1.20
* in case of soil inclined surcharge LL surcharge has been neglected
(ix) Permissible Crushing Strength = 1.90 Mpa
(x) Permissible tension = 0.10 Mpa

-ve sign indicates moment acting in opposite direction of earth pressure moment
Hence, from B = 2.482 - 1.05 = 0.471 > 0.40 or

Bending Stresses = M/Z = 1.081 t/m = 0.011 N/mm2
2
Compressive stresses = P/A = 2.635 t/m

= 0.026 N/mm
2 2
So, Total compressive and bending stresses = 0.037 N/mm < 1.900 N/mm
OK
2 2
Total tensile stresses = 0.026 N/mm < 0.100 N/mm
Tension within permissible limit OK
