Retaining Wall Key Points
- Soil Height Behind Wall: 5.0 m
- Wall Stem Height Above Base: H = 1.5 m
- Top Thickness of Wall Stem: C = 0.3 m
- Base Thickness: 0.6 m
- Base Width (Total): B = 4.0 m
- Base Projection Toward Excavated Side: A = 1.35 m
- Base Projection Into Soil Side: P = 2.05 m
Engineering Notes
- Stability Consideration: Large base width (4.0 m) provides resistance against overturning.
- Soil Pressure: Height of 6.0 m indicates significant lateral earth pressure acting on the wall.
- Toe vs. Heel:
- Toe (A = 1.35 m) → shorter projection on the excavated side.
- Heel (P = 2.05 m) → longer projection into soil for stability.
- Structural Balance: Ratio of heel to toe ensures better load distribution.
- Design Intent: Prevent soil erosion and sliding by counteracting lateral forces.
