Also check for shear at the junction.
Rcc retaining wall reinforcement details.
This type of walls has vertical stem monolithic with the base.
Based on our example in figure a 1 we have the forces due to soil pressure due to water and surcharge load to consider.
Counterfort retaining wall comprises of a stem toe slab and heel.
Reinforced concrete cantilever types of retaining wall are recommended for heights up to 7 m.
Provide enough development length.
In this video lecture i show you how we construct the retaining wall at sit what type of bar was to be use it is very important to understand so check.
Counterfort retaining wall rcc buttress wall rcc 3.
M h1 7 m h 8 25 m.
A slender section can be used in this retaining wall the tensile stresses within the stem and the base is resisted by steel reinforcement.
Window and door headers also known as lintels can be subjected to significant bending moment and shear forces depending on several factors.
Reinforcement for wall openings.
Gravity retaining wall gl1 gl2 retaining walls are usually built to hold back soil mass.
Creating a wall opening in a reinforced concrete wall creates extra stress around that opening especially at the corners.
Details of wall mm cf 3 h 7 8.
Reinforcement is provided on earth.
M c c 400 mm.
Meanwhile the height of earth to be retaining go beyond 5 meter the bending moment started in the stem heel and toe slabs are very large which gives rise to large thickness of structural elements and turns out to be pricy therefore counterfort type retaining wall is selected for larger heights.
Counterfort retaining wall rcc.
Most walls will have window or door openings or both.
Thus it is also called gravity retaining wall.
The reinforced concrete retaining wall resists the lateral pressure by structural action such as bending and results in thinner section.
