3.0 Design Assumptions 1. The design is based on the assumed Geotechnical data furnished as above. 2. Weight of top 0.5m of soil (on passive only) is neglected to account for future accidental, unplanned excavation. 3. It is assumed that during Hydro test, soil behind thrust block is fully compacted so as to obtain a soil desity at least equal to 95 percent of Modified Proctor test (ASTM D 1557).

Note: 1. Net moment is calculated as below a. If total induced moment is greater than moment due to passive force (passive force= total sliding force - frictional resistance of concrete) Net moment = Mz - Mzp Where Mz = Destabilising moment Mzp = Restoring moment from passive force calculated as above. b. If total induced moment is less than the moment due to passive soil, effect of moment is ignored in bearing pressure calculations. 8.0 Stability Checks - For Uplift

9.0 Reinforcement Design Reinforcement is required only for shrinkage purpose. As per BS-8007: Appendix-A-Figure A1. Following reinforcement is provided as skin rebars on the surface zone of the concrete in all faces. Minimum Reinforcement As = 0.13% of cross sectional area Surface zone of concrete (For t>500mm) = 325 mm2 (For thicknesses more than 500mm only 250thk shall be considered as effective) Provided reinforcement (on all faces): Area of steel provided = > T8 335 325 @ mm O.K.
