Concrete Design Retaining Wall

This document provides input data and design parameters for a retaining wall including: - Concrete and rebar material strengths - Soil properties like lateral pressure, friction angle, and bearing capacity - Wall geometry dimensions for elements like stem thickness, heights, widths - Load calculations for soil pressure, surcharge, self-weight - Preliminary design of the stem including depth, reinforcement, and checking shear capacity - Determining the base length and stem location from moment equilibrium - Checking factors of safety for overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity The summary provides an overview of the key input values and initial calculations performed in the design of the retaining wall.
