Compound Wall

Data :-

There is a filling of 1.2 m in proposed site from neighbor site level.

Type of soil is murmur at 1.8 m deep below the neighbors plot level.
And soil SBC is taken as 20 T/m at depth of 1.8m
Compound wall is designed as retaining cum compound wall.
Soil density is taken as 2200 kg/m ( soil + water unit weight )
Angle of repose taken as 25 ( assumed .

Design Data:-
Density of soil taken :- 2200 kg/m
:- 25
SBC of soil :- 20 T/m

Overturning pressure due to soil :-

w h * [ 1 - sin ]
6 [ 1 + sin ]

Page 1 of 4
 w= 2200 Sin 25 = 0.42
h= 3 1 - sin 25 = 0.58
= 25 1 + sin 25 = 1.42

((1-sin)/(1+sin)) =
0.41
Overturning = 4018.18 kg.m

1. Check for overturnig :-

Resisting moment > 1.5 * overturning moment due to soil

6432.512 > 6027.27

Factor of safety = resisting moment / overturning moment

1.6 > 1.5

Therefore, safe

2. Check for Sability :-

Factor of safety = ( * W ) / p

= 0.5
W= 10285.75

p = (1/3) * w * (h/3) = 3300 kg/m

Factor of safety = 1.56 > 1.5

Therefore, safe

3. Check for Eccentricity :-

e=(b/2)-z z = total moment / total load

z = 0.63
b (m) = 1.35

e = 0.05 < b/6 0.23

Therefore, safe

4. Intensity of pressure at base :-

p=(W/b)*(1((6*e)/b))

p (max) = 9299.302 kg/m

p (min) = 5938.846 kg/m

p (max) and p (min) are less than SBC of soil. Therefore, safe
