Not required for wall Types 3 and 4.
Values for offsetting forms to be determined by the Engineer.

NOTES
Design Conditions:
Design H may be exceeded by 152mm (6") before going to the next size. Special footing
design is required where foundation material is incapable of supporting toe pressure listed in
table. Return wall not required unless shown elsewhere.
Design Data:
fc = 8.96Mpa (1300 psi) f' c = 22.4Mpa {3250) psi fs = 166Mpa (24,000 psi)
n = 10 earth = 1922 kg/cu m (120 pcf)
610mm (2') Surcharge:
Equivalent fluid pressure =
36 pcf maximum for determination of toe pressure.
27 pcf minimum for determination of heel pressure.

Earth pressures for 2: 1 unlimited slope, 1-1 /2: 1 slope, and 1-1 /2: 1 unlimited slope,
determined from Rankine's formula with i=33"-12.8m(42').
