2 5 clear to strength steel 5 12 rather than the designed 5 10 bending strength of the section has been reduced by about 16.
Reinforced concrete wall section.
Reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls consist of a relatively thin stem and a base slab.
Load from slab is transferred as axial load to wall.
The reinforcement is usually though not necessarily steel reinforcing bars and is usually embedded passively in the concrete before the concrete sets.
They support vertical loads and are vulnerable to minor axis bending.
When depth is large it is called rc wall.
Reinforced concrete wall when reinforcement 0 4.
Plain concrete wall when reinforcement 0 4.
Strength reduced from 136 7 to 114 9 in kips.
The base is divided into two parts the heel and toe.
Reinforced concrete wall is classified as.
Strength of reinforced concrete sections amount of rebar a s the project calls for 5 10 and 5 12 are used.
Design of reinforced concrete walls are in many ways like columns.
The heel is the part of the base under the backfill.
They often act as primary elements of a structure s lateral stability systems and by doing so are subjected to high in plane bending forces.
Design is similar to a rc column breadth equal to thickness of wall and depth equal to 1m.
