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 = 23.48 kN/m3
- wall thickness = 0.47m
- footing thickness = 0.53m
- toe slab length = 2.33m
- heel slab length = 4.38m
- ground water table depth = 2.99
- H2 = 3.84
The following values were calculated for this particular retaining wall:
- Righting moment: 3,868 kN-m/m
- Overturning moment: 908 kN-m/m
- Total vertical load: 999 kN/m
What is the factor of safety for bearing pressure?
