DESIGN EXAMPLE
The following design example briefly illustrates some of the basic steps used in the allowable stress design of a reinforced concrete masonry cantilever retaining wall. Example: Design the reinforced concrete masonry cantilever retaining wall shown in Figure 2. Assume level backfill, no surcharge or seismic loading, active earth pressure and masonry laid in running bond. The coefficient of friction between betwe en the footi ng and found ation soil,k soil, k 1, is 0.25, and the allowable soil bearing pressure is 2,000 psf (95.8 kPa) (ref. 7). a. Design criteria: Wall thickness = 12 in. (305 mm) f' m = 1,500 psi (10.3 MPa)
T
8 ft 8 in. (2.5 m)
b. Rankine active earth pressure γ (H + t) 2 K a P a = 1/2 γ (H where K where K a = tan2 (45 - φ /2) = tan2 (45 - 30/2) = 0.33 P a = 1/2 (120) (9.67)2 (0.33) = 1,851 lb/ft (27 kN/m)
Overturning moment M = P a (height/3) = (1,851 lb/ft)(9.67 ft/3) = 5,966 ft-lb/ft (27 kN.m/m) c.

p = p = 880 + 476 = 404 psf (19.3 kPa) and 1,356 psf (64.9 kPa) < 2,000 psf (95.8 kPa) O.K. f. Determine size of key Passive lateral soil resistance = 150 psf/ft of depth and may be increased increa sed 150 psf for each additi onal foot of depth to a maximum of 15 times the designated value (ref. 7). The average soil pressure under the footing is:1/2 (1,356 + 404) = 880 psf (42.1 kPa). Equivalent soil depth: 880 psf/120 pcf = 7.33 ft (2.23 m) P p = (150 psf/ft)(7.33 ft) = 1,100 psf (52.7 kPa)
For F.S. (sliding) = 1.5, the required total passive soil resistance is: 1.5(1,851 lb/ft) = 2,776 lb/ft (41 kN/m) The shear key must provide for this value minus the frictional resistance: 2,776 - 1,248 = 1,528 lb/ft (22 kN/m). Depth of shear key = (1,528 lb/ft)/(1,100 psf) = 1.39 ft (0.42 m), try 1.33 ft (0.41 m). At 1.33 ft, lateral resistance = (1,100 psf) + (150 psf/ft)(1.33 ft) = 1,300 lb/ft (19 kN/m) Depth = (1,528 lb/ft)/[ 1/2 (1,100 + 1,300)] = 1.27 ft (0.39 m) < 1.33 ft (0.41 m) O.K.
reinforcing steel based on the equivalent fluid weight of soil, wall thickness, and wall height. For this example, the equivalent fluid weight = ( K a)(γ ) = 0.33 x 120 = 40 pcf (6.2 kN/m3). Using allowable stress design (Table 1) and the cons ervative equivalent fluid weight of soil of 45 pcf (7.1 kN/m3), this wall requires No. 6 bars at 16 in. o.c. (M #19 at 406 mm o.c.). Using strength design (Table 2), this wall requires No. 5 bars at 16 in. o.c. (M #16 at 406 mm o.c.). h. Design of footing The design of the reinforced concrete footing and key should conform to American Concrete Institute requirements. For guidance, see ACI Standard 318 (ref. 2) or reinfo rced concrete design handbooks.

The reinforcement listed is designed to resist soil loads only.

(203, 254, and 305 mm), respectively; level backfill to top of wall The specified reinforcement spac ing is greater than six times the wall thickness. Prudent engineering practice dictates that stresses in the unreinforced masonry spanning betwe en the reinforcing be designed meet Building Code ReTEK 15-7Bbars National ConcretetoMasonry Association quirements for Masonry Structures Section 2.2.3.2 (ref. 1).
