Retaining Wall Design Calculations

This document summarizes the design of a foundation for a retaining wall. It includes calculations of key parameters like earth pressure coefficients, minimum base slab dimensions, reinforcement requirements, and checks for stability. Dimensions provided include the height of the wall, depth of the foundation, and thickness of various slabs. Calculations are shown for determining the forces and moments acting on the foundation from the soil and surcharge pressures.
