Question

A reinforced concrete retaining wall is proportioned as shown below. There is a water table located H1m beneath the ground surface. Use ultimate bearing capacity of 450 kPa.

Based on the figure, the dimensions are given below. Use γc = 24.67 kN/m3

  • wall thickness = 0.65m
  • footing thickness = 0.55m
  • toe slab length = 2.47m
  • heel slab length = 3.78m
  • ground water table depth = 3.25
  • H2 = 3.92

The soil parameters are also given below. Take note that there is just one type of soil present here.

  • Bulk unit weight = 16.93
  • Submerged unit weight = 9.67
  • Angle of internal friction = 21

 

If you add the factors of safety for sliding and overturning, what is the sum? Consider friction coefficient μ = 0.77
