Currently Playing: PSAD Refresher 88: Stability and Design Strength of Reinforced Concrete Retaining Wall

Enrol to our Review Center: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AC24Wsb9v/?mibextid=wwXIfr SITUATION: Refer to the figure shown. Given: a = 0.25 m b = 0.70 m c = 0.80 m d = 3.5 m e = 6 m f = 0.50 m F’c = 24 MPa Fy = 415 MPa Soil unit weight = 18.8 kN/m3 Concrete unit weight = 24 kN/m3 Active earth pressure coefficient = 1/3 Required strength of the wall, U = 0.7D + 1.7H Where D is dead load and H is earth pressure. Consider per meter strip of wall along its length 1. Calculate the factor of safety against sliding of the retaining wall. Consider coefficient of friction at the base = 0.57. Neglect passive earth pressure at the toe. A. 1.45 C. 1.35 B. 1.60 D. 1.77 2. Calculate the factor of safety against overturning of the retaining wall. A. 2.52 C. 1.53 B. 1.19 D. 0.95 3. Calculate the maximum design moment (kN-m) at the stem of the wall. A. 225 C. 483 B. 453 D. 384 Thanks for watching! Comment for questions and suggestions for future lecture in this series.
