1 Retaining walls Exaple 3.16 Design of a cantilever retaining wall (BS 8110) The cantilever retaining wall shown below is backfilled with granular aterial having a unit weight, ρ, of 19 kn 3 and an internal angle of friction, φ, of 30. Assuing that the allowable bearing pressure of the soil is 10 kn, the coefficient of friction is 0.4 and the unit weight of reinforced concrete is 4 kn 3 1. Deterine the factors of safety against sliding and overturning.. Calculate ground bearing pressures. 3. Design the wall and base reinforceent assuing f cu = 35 kn, f y = 500 kn and the cover to reinforceent in the wall and base are, respectively, 35 and W W W s F A k a 1 sin φ = 1 + sin φ 1 sin 30 = 1 + sin = = A W b Active pressure (p a ) = k a ρh = 1 / = 34. kn SLIDING Consider the forces acting on a 1 length of wall. Horizontal force on wall due to backfill, F A, is F A = 0.5p a h = = 9.34 kn and Weight of wall (W w ) = = 48.0 kn Weight of base (W b ) = = 38.4 kn Weight of soil (W s ) = = 75.5 kn Total vertical force (W t ) = kn Friction force, F F, is F F = µw t = = kn Assue passive pressure force (F P ) = 0. Hence factor of safety against sliding is OVERTURNING = 1.56 > Taking oents about point A (see above), su of overturning oents (M over ) is F A = = 166. kn _C03b 15 9/3/09, 1:14 PM

Steel is also required in the front face (FF) of wall in order to prevent excessive cracking. This is based on the iniu steel area, i.e. = 0.13%bh = 0.13% = 50 / Hence, provide H1 at 00 centres (A s = 566 ) Base Heel = kn Toe A B C 900 D Heel p = = 91 kn p 1 p 3 p 1 = = 16.4 kn.( ) p 3 = 91 + = 14.8 kn 4 Design oent at point C, M c, is = kn 4 3 Assuing diaeter of ain steel (Φ) = 0 and cover to reinforceent is 50, effective depth, d, is d = / = K = = z = 340 [ ( / 0. 9 )] 0.95d = 33 A s 6 M = = = 114 / 087. fz y Hence fro Table 3., provide H0 at 00 centres (A s = 1570 /) in top face (T) of base _C03b 17 9/3/09, 1:14 PM

REINFORCEMENT DETAILS The sketch below shows the ain reinforceent requireents for the retaining wall. For reasons of buildability the actual reinforceent details ay well be slightly different. U-bars H1-00 H1-00(FF) (FF) far face (NF) near face (T) top face (B) botto face Distribution steel H1-00 H0-00 (NF) 00 kicker Starter bars H0-00 H0-00 (T) 3.13 Design of short braced coluns Distribution steel H1-00 The function of coluns in a structure is to act as vertical supports to suspended ebers such as beas and roofs and to transit the loads fro these ebers down to the foundations (Fig. 3.83). Coluns are priarily copression ebers although they ay also have to resist bending oents transitted by beas. H1-00 (B) Coluns ay be classified as short or slender, braced or unbraced, depending on various diensional and structural factors which will be discussed below. However, due to liitations of space, the study will be restricted to the design of the ost coon type of colun found in building structures, naely short-braced coluns COLUMN SECTIONS Soe coon colun cross-sections are shown in Fig Any section can be used, however, _C03b 18 9/3/09, 1:14 PM
