distance of W from X = 2.259 m

Vehicle load surcharge Intensity PH=(z-1+z)/2 x Z diff 2.013 KN

dist. of surcharge load from X=d = 0.59H for m 0.4 & 0.48H for m>0.4 5.310 m
Active earth pressure at base of wall Pa = K pa x so x H 60.000 KN/m
Moment due to surcharge Load @ X = PH x d Overturning Moment 10.687 KNm
Moment due to selfweight of wall @ X = W x X Resisting Moment 1297.890 KNm
Moment due to active earth pressure @ X =1/2 x Pa x h4 Overturning Moment 90.000 KNm

C Check against overturning:- For FOS = 2.75

Sum of resisting moment = Mres 1297.890 KNm

Sum of Overturning moment = Myy over 100.687 KNm

Factor of safety against Overturning (FOS overturning) = 12.890 OK

D Check againstg Sliding:- For FOS = 2.75

Frictional coefficient = 0.450
Resisting force against sliding (W) = 258.491 KN

Sum of Sliding Forces ( Surcharge Load + Active earth pressure) = 62.013 KN

Factor of safety against Sliding (FOS sliding) = 258.491 / 62.013 4.168 OK
