STABILITY OF TOE WALL

This design presents the stability of Toe wall for a height of 1.000 m above ground level
*This Toe wall is essentialy situated more than 3 m from roadway width hence LL surchrge not considered.

Angle of internal friction, f = 30 degree 0.524 rad

Angle of friction between soil and concrete, d = 20 degree 0.349 rad
Surcharge angle i = 26.5 degree 0.463 rad
Angle of wall face with horizontal a = 90 degree 1.571 rad

Ka = 0.75 = 0.522596781
1.4351409
Ka1 = 0.522596781

Therefore, Horizontal coefficient of Active earth pressure = Ka1COS(90-a+d) = 0.49108

Kha1 = 0.4911

Therefore, Vertical coefficient of Active earth pressure = Kva2 SIN(d)

Kha2 = 0.1787
h = 1.875
Total earth pressure 'Pa' = [ (w h^2) / 2 ] x ka1
Section = 1.726 T/m
Pa = 1.726 T/m

Moment = 1.726 x 0.625

Moment = 1.078 T-m

Vertical active force = 0.628 t/m

Calculations for weight of

Soil (II A) = 0.5 x 2.0 x 0.350 x 0.175 = 0.061 t/m
PCC (II) = 1 x 2.5 x 0.300 x 1.500 = 1.125 t/m
PCC(III) = 1 x 2.5 x 1.300 x 0.400 = 1.300 t/m
PCC(IV) = 0.5 x 2.5 x 0.300 x 1.300 = 0.488 t/m
Soil (V) = 1 x 2.0 x 0.350 x 0.300 = 0.210 t/m
Soil (VA) = 0 x 2.0 x 0.069 x 0.300 = 0.000 t/m

-ve sign indicates moment acting in opposite direction of earth pressure moment

i.e. with in
Hence from B = 3.962 -1.078 = 0.611 > 0.433 or middle third
4.722 < 0.867 OK

Eccentricity 'e' = 0.65 -0.611 = 0.039 m

Base pressure = 4.722 + 0.1849 = 4.288 or OK

1.300 0.282 = 2.976 T/m2 OK

Checking for Sliding

FOS 0.5773 X 4.722 / 1.726 = 1.579675 > 1.5
OK
Check for overturning moment
Factory of Safety 3.962 / 1.078 = 3.675 > 2
OK
