MATERIAL PROPERTIES
fcu = 35 N/mm m = 1.5 concrete
fy = 460 N/mm m = 1.05 steel
cover to tension steel = 50 mm
Max allowable design surface crack width (W) = 0.3 mm
Concrete density = 24 kN/m
SOIL PROPERTIES Wall Geometry
Design angle of int'l friction of retained mat'l () = 30 degree
Design cohesion of retained mat'l (C ) = 0 kN/m (Only granular backfil considered, "C" = zero)
Density of retained mat'l (q ) = 16 kN/m
Submerged Density of retained mat'l (qs ) = 10.67 kN/m [default=2/3*q (only apply when Hw >0)

Design angle of int'l friction of base mat'l (b) = 20 degree ASSUMPTIONS
Design cohesion of base material (Cb ) = 10 kN/m a) Wall friction is zero
Density of base material (qb ) = 10 kN/m b) Minimum active earth pressure = 0.25qH
Allowable gross ground bearing pressure (GBP) = 200 kN/m c) Granular backfill
d)Does not include check of rotational slide/slope failure
LOADINGS Surcharge load -- live (SQK) = 0 kN/m e)Does not include effect of seepage of ground
Surcharge load -- dead (SGK) = 0 kN/m water beneath the wall.
Line load -- live (LQK) = 0.00 kN/m f)Does not include deflection check of wall due to
Line load -- dead (LGK) = 0.00 kN/m lateral earth pressures
Distance of line load from wall (X) = 0 mm h) Design not intended for walls over 3.0 m high
