Known Parameters :

Height of earth Retained, h = 3 m

Unit weight of soil = 19 kN/m2
Unit weight of concrete = 25 kN/m2
angle of internal friction of soil, φ = 30°
Slope of backfill, β = 25°
soil-wall interface friction, δ = 25°
Surcharge pressure on backfill, ws = 0 kN/m2

Wall Dimensions :

Assumed depth of foundation, d = m

Total height of the wall, H = m
Safe Bearing Capacity of soil = kN/m2

Thickness of base slab, t = mm

Thickness of stem at base = mm
Thickness of stem at top = mm
