1. Design Constants
Clear Height of Basement wall, H = 2.625+3.225=5.85m
Specific Weight of Soil, γsoil = 16.5 KN/m³
Angle of internal friction, φ = 30°
Surcharge load, w = 19 KN/m²
Safe Bearing Capacity of Soil, qs = 140 KN/m²

2. Approximate design of section
let approx.. depth of wall, d=l/15 = 2625 /15=175mm
Clear Cover = 25 mm D = 200 mm
Main bar diameter = 12 mm d = 169 mm
Provide, D = 200 mm
∴ d = 200 -25 -6 = 169 mm
l/d<30
Slenderness ratio, l/d = 3225/340 = 19.083<30 OK

3. Moment calculation
1 − sinθ 1 − sin30
K = = = 0.333
1 + sinθ 1 + sin30

Lateral Load intensity due to soil pressure, Pa = KaγH

At H=3.225m
= 0.333 x 16.5 x 3.225= 17.738 KN/m2
At H=5.85m
= 0.333 x 16.5 x 5.85= 32.175 KN/m2
Lateral Load intensity due to surcharge load, Ps = Kaw
= 0.333 x 10 = 6.33 KN/m2

Ast = 166.768 mm

Min. Ast = 0.0012*b*D

IS456:2000,
Cl. 32.5.a Max. Dia. Of bar = D/8 = 200/8 = 25mm >12mm OK

Providing 12mmφ bar, spacing of bars is,

Cl. 26.5.2.2 ∗ Provide
12mmφ bars @
∴ Provide 12mmφ @ 300mm c/c 300mm c/c

So, Provided Ast = 113.097*1000/300 = 376.991 mm2

Pt = 376.991 x 100 /(1000 x 200) = 0.1885 % Pt=0.189%
Max. Spacing = 3d = 3x169 = 507mm or 450mm

Area of steel at front face= 2/3 of area of steel at rear face

=2/3*240 = 160mm2 < Min. Ast

∴ Provide 12mmφ @ 300mm c/c

6. Check for Shear

From ETABS,
V = 18.298 KN
Design Shear Force, Vu = 1.5V = 1.5 x 18.298
IS456:2000, Vu = 27.447 KN τv =0.162
Cl. 31.6.2.1 . ∗ N/mm2
Nominal Shear stress, τv = = ∗
= 0.162N/mm2
IS456:2000, τc = 0.29
Table 19 Permissible shear stress, τc = 0.29 N/mm² τc>τv, Hence Safe N/mm²

7. Check for Deflection

leff = 2665m
 Allowable deflection = leff/250 = 2665/250 = 10.66 mm

Which is less than allowable deflection.
8. Calculation of Horizontal Reinforcement steel bars
IS456:2000,
Cl. 32.5.c Area of Hor. Steel Reinforcement = 0.002DH
=0.002 x 200 x 5850
= 2340 mm²
As the temperature changes occurs at front face of basement
wall, 2/3 of horizontal reinforcement is provided at front face
and 1/3 of horizontal reinforcement is provided in inner face.

1. Front face Horizontal Reinforcement steel,

= 2/3 x 2340 = 1560 mm²
Providing 10mmφ bars
No. of Bars required, N = 1560/78.53 = 19.86≈20 nos
∅
Spacing =
Provide
=(5850-50-10)/(20-1)= 304.74 10mmφ bars @
∴ Providing 10mmφ bars @ 300mm c/c 300mm c/c

2. Inner face Horizontal Reinforcement steel,

= 1/3 x 2340 = 780 mm²
Providing 8mmφ bars
No. of Bars required, N = 1560/78.53=15.52≈16 nos
Spacing =
=(5850-50-8)/(16-1) = 386.133 mm Provide
∴ Providing 8mmφ bars @ 300 mm c/c 8mmφ bars @
Max. Spacing = 3d = 3x169 = 507 or 450mm 300mm c/c
Hence, Spacing provided for hor. Steel is OK.

9. Curtailment of Reinforcement

Since minimum steel reinforcement is used so curtailment is

not done.
