CALCULATION RESULTS <br /> OVERVIEW <br /> UltraWall calculates stability assuming the wall is a rigid body. Forces and moments are calculated about the <br /> base and the front toe of the wall. The base block width is used in the calculations. The concrete units and granular fill <br /> over the blocks are used as resisting forces. <br /> EARTH PRESSURES <br /> The method of analysis uses the Coulomb Earth Pressure equation (below)to calculate active earth <br /> pressures. Wall friction is assumed to act at the back of the wall face. The component of earth pressure is assumed to <br /> act perpendicular to the boundary surface. The effective b angle is b minus the wall batter at the back face. If the <br /> slope breaks within the failure zone, a trial wedge method of analysis is used. <br /> EXTERNAL EARTH PRESSURES <br /> Effective b angle(3/4 retained phi) 6=25.5 deg <br /> Coefficient of active earth pressure ka=0.502 <br /> External failure plane p =44 deg <br /> Effective Angle from horizontal Eff.Angle =81.68 deg <br /> Coefficient of passive earth pressure: kp= (1 + sin(cp))/(1 -sin(cp)) kp=3.54 <br /> cos(ti+i) <br /> Ks, <br /> cas(i .-cas s- 4I+Si'5. 4'i.-R. <br /> Si.-i l+ co$(ai-i)cos(i+p) <br /> ,-- ,___ ___)- <br /> UltraWall 5.0.18138 Page/ <br />
