a) Salient Levels
Breast wall top level = 100.000 m
Ground Level = 98.000 m
Foundation slab bottom level = 97.500 m
Depth of foundation = 0.50 m
Cofficient of friction (µ) (For hard rock) = 0.80

b) Properties of backfill

Slope of backfill Vertical = 1

Horizontal = 2.0
Dry density of backfill soil γd = 20.00

Saturated density of backfill soil γsat = 20.00 kn/m

Submersed density of backfill soil γsub = 10.00 kn/m
Angle of Internal friction φ = 30.00 degree
Angle of wall friction δ = 20.00 degree
Batter of wall with horizontal α= (90) = 108.435 degree
Inclination of Backfill with horizontal β = 26.57 degree
Inclination angle to vertical plane ω = 0.00 degree

Active earth pressure Coefficient for active earth pressure By Coulomb's equation

 Foundation Slope
1.0 Vertical
3.0 Horizontal

Angle(w) = 18.44
= 0.322
Cos(angle) = 0.949
Sin(angle) = 0.316

Foundation of wall is on slope

So all forces are broken in two direction; one parallel to foundation and another perpendicular to foundation

Surcharge pressure
p1 = Ka cos(δ) x ɣd x q = 0.292 x 20 x 1.2 = 0.00 kn/m2
due to fill
p2 = Ka cos(δ) x ɣd x h1 = 0.292 x 20 x 2.5 = 14.60 kn/m2 Earth Pressure

Surcharge pressure
H1 = 0.00 x 2.50 = 0.00 KN
due to fill
H2 = 1/2 x 14.60 x 2.50 = 18.25 KN Earth Pressure
