RR Stone Masonry Retaining Wall Design

This document provides design details for a retaining wall made of RR stone masonry. The total height of the wall is 5 meters. Calculations are shown for the weight and resisting moment of each wall section. The total resisting moment of 251.85 kn-m/m is greater than the overturning moment of 138.89 kn-m/m, indicating stability. Sliding resistance and base pressure are also analyzed and found to be acceptable based on the assumed material properties and dimensions.

Design for RR Stone Masonary Retaining Wall

General Data :
Finish Ground Level assumed = 289 M
Bed Level of the River = 284 M
Depth of Wall below the Bed Level = 0 M
Additional Height above the FGL = 0 M
Total Height of Retaining wall = 5 M
SBC Considered at Base Level = 150 Kn/m2

Section of Retaining Wall:

h1

Total Height of Wall = h1+h2+h3+h4


h2 Total Width of Base = w1+w2+w3+w4

Assumption for Section Thickness for Different Levels


Thickness at Top Level = 0.75 M
Thickness provided at Base = 3.15 M
Section "h1" assumed = 1 M
Section "h2" assumed = 2 M
Section "h3" assumed = 2 M
Section "h4" assumed = 0 M
Width "w1" assumed = 0.75 M
Width "w2" assumed = 1.2 M
Width "w3" assumed = 1.2 M
Width "w4" assumed = 0 M

Material Properties
Density of Soil assumed = 20 Kn/m3
Density of RR Masonary assumed = 23 Kn/m3
Angle of Repose = 30 degree
Coefficient of Friction = 0.5

ƩWr= 251.85 ƩMr= 471.18

Overturning Moment due to Soil = 138.89 Kn-M/m


This is assumed that the Dead loads are reduced to 10% to take into account the situation where they might had
been over-estimated

Check for ƩMr


= 3.053 OK
Overturning ƩMo

Maximum sliding for at the base of wall Ws = 83.33 Kn/m


Check for ƩWr.µ
= 1.511 OK
Overturning ƩWs

Check For Base Pressure


The point where the Load is acting x 1.87 M
Width of Base slab b = 3.15 M
Eccentricity e= x-b/2 = 0.296 M

Check for Max Pressure


Pmax = W/b*(1+6e/b)
OK
= 125.01 Kn/m2

Check for Min Pressure


Pmin = W/b*(1-6e/b)
OK
= 34.891 Kn/m2
