Allowing for the minimum required surcharge of 10 kn/m2, an additional horizontal pressure
Ps = 3.3 kN/m2
Act uniformly over the whole depth h.
Vertical load:
Wall = 86.4 kN
Base = 25.2 kN
Earth 1 = 188.352 kN
Earth 2 = 33.354 kN
Surcharge = 12 kN
Total 345.306 kN
For stability calculation a partial factor of safety of 1.6 is used for lateral loading
Safety factor 1.4 is used for strength calculation
i) Sliding
Assume value of coefficient of friction, u = 0.45
Since the sliding force exceeds the frictional force, resistance must also be provided by the
passive earth pressure acting against a heel beam and this force is given by
Hp = Yf x 0.5 Kp x p x g x aa
Where Kp is the coefficient of passive pressure, assumed to be
3 for this granular material, and 'a' is a depth of the below the 0.3 m trench
If sliding failed, pls proceed with this calculation
Therefore
Hp = 10.59 kN
Sliding must now be considered on a plane at the level of the underside of the heel beam.
Thus,
Pa = 57.62 kN/m2
and
Hk = 285.8 kN
b) Overturning
Taking moment about point A at the edge of the toe and ignoring the heel beam,
at the ultimate limit state
Overturning is FAILED
c) Bearing pressure
where M is moment about the base centre line. Therefore, ignoring the heel beam
Therefore
max bearing pressure, P1 = 333.1 kN/m2
d) Bending reinforcement
i) Wall
327.02 kN
Z= 0.95d

As = 4410.3 mm2/m
ii) Base
M= 771.0 kN m
and
N= 312.0 kN
Therefore
pressure P1 = 466.7 kN/m2
P2 = -288.5 kN/m2
P3 = -29.55 kN/m2
Heel
Taking moment about about the stem centre line for the vertical loads and bearing pressure
M= 355.2 kN m
Therefore
As = 1699.1 mm2/m
Bottom and longitudinal distribution steel which is required in the wall and base is
(also can be use for heel beam)
As = 780 mm2/m
