Hence Safe

Pressure = P/b * (1 ± 6e/b)

P max= 583.83/4.5)*(1 + (6*0.736)/4.5)
257.06 kN/m2 Hence Safe

Horizontal force 133.12
FOS = ɥW / P
FOS should be less than 1.5 = (0.3*1346.787)/133.12

Hence Safe- Shear Key not required

Design of Shear Key:

Passive earth pressure = 97.2

Depth of shear key = 0

Total passive force = 0 kN

FOS = 404.04+0)/133.12
