Unit Weight of Maonry/PCC = 24.00 KN/m3
Unit Weight of PCC = 24.00 KN/m3
Safe Bearing Capacity = 100.00 KN/m2 (Assuming)
Depth of foundation = 0.00 m
Angle of internal friction of soil for active earth = 30.0 Deg
Angle which earth face of the wall makes with the = 0.0 Deg
Angle of back fill = 30.0 Deg
Angle of friction between wall and earth fill = 10.0 Deg

Stability of wall
Check for overturning
Total Overturning moment = 1.018 KN-m
Factor of safty against Overturning = Resisting moment
Overturning moment
= 4.530 > 2
Hence Ok
Check for Sliding
Coefficient of friction, µ = 0.6
Vertical load, w = 12.300 t
Horizontal load, Ph = 4.073 t
Factor of safty against Sliding
µ w / Ph > 1.5 = ( 0.6 x 12.3 ) / 4.0725 > 1.5
= 1.812 > 1.5
Hence Ok
Pressure distribution at Foundation
Gross Pressure intensity below foundation
Net Moment = 4.6125 - 1.0181
= 3.594 KN-m
Total Vertical Force = 12.300 KN
Distance of point of application of resultant from toe

Hence Ok
Pressure at toe = W ( 1+ 6 x e / b)
b
