Retaining wall retains earth when level difference exists between two surfaces. Based on our example in figure a 1 we have the forces due to soil pressure due to water and surcharge load to consider.
Building codes and retaining walls 5. The base is divided into two parts the heel and toe. A barrette retaining wall is constructed from reinforced concrete columns of a rectangular plan form with the long axis in the direction of retention. 1 rcc retaining wall structural drawing 2 section reinforcement detail of retaining wall.
Helping drawing file link given below https dr. Soil bearing and stability 8. Columns may be classiþed as short or slender braced or unbraced depending on various dimen sional and structural factors which will be discussed below. Bid item number description sd drawing method of measurement.
For reasons of buildability the actual reinforcement details may well be slightly different. This composite system provides stability to the retaining wall allowing architects to increase wall. The sketch below shows the main reinforcement requirements for the retaining wall. Design procedure overview 3.
Reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall analysis and design aci 318 14 reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls consist of a relatively thin stem and a base slab. Forces on retaining walls 6. Soil mechanics simplified 4. As shown by the blue box by adding a geosynthetic reinforcement to the soil the srw system becomes a composite system made up of the wall units the soil and the geogrid.
The method of measurement and bid item numbers for the retaining walls described above are summarized below. Earthquake seismic design 7. Reinforced retaining wall this is a cross section of a reinforced wall. Counterfort retaining wall comprises of a stem toe slab and heel.
Meanwhile the height of earth to be retaining go beyond 5 meter the bending moment started in the stem heel and toe slabs are very large which gives rise to large thickness of structural elements and turns out to be pricy therefore counterfort type retaining wall is selected for larger heights. Sketches of the retaining wall forces should be considered to properly distinguish the different forces acting on our retaining wall as tackled in the previous article retaining wall.
