I. Parameters:
Weight of Selected Fill, ɣs = 17.00 kN/m^3 Note:
Weight of Saturated Soil, ωs = 18.00 kN/m^3 Ka = (1-sinΦ)/(1+sinΦ) = 0.33
Weight of Water, ωw = 9.81 kN/m^3 Kp = (1+sinΦ)/(1-sinΦ) = 3
Eff. Unit Wt. of Saturated Soil, ɣs' = 8.19 kN/m^3
Depth of Water from Finish Level, hw = 3.50 m
Surcharge, S = 5.00 kPa
Soil Angle of Friction, Φ = 30.00 deg
Soil Angle of Friction, Φ = 27.00 deg
Active Pressure Coef., Ka = 0.33

II. Wall Pressures Due to Soil Active and Passive:
P0 = 19.64 = (ɣs*hw*Ka)*B = ( 1.65 ) + ( 19.635 )
P1 = 33.15 = P0 + ɣ'*(H-hw)*Ka*B = ( 19.635 ) + ( 13.5135 )
P2 = 37.67 = (S*Ka' + ɣs*hw*Ka'+ ɣ'*(H-hw)*Ka')*B
P4 = 44.89 = P2 - ɣ'(Kp-Ka)*D - S (Kp-Ka) = ( 21.8673*D ) + ( 448.5 )
P5 = 1.65 = S Ka (wall pressure above dredge line)
P6 = 1.88 = S Ka' (wall pressure below dredge line)
III. Resultant Pressures
P0 = 34.36 kN 0.83 m depth of P3
P1 = 33.78 kN 5.33 m y = 3.817 m
P2 = 98.18 kN 4.50 m
P3 = 71.89 kN 9.77 m
Psur above = 14.03 kN 2.75 m
Psur below = 15.69 kN 11.18 m
P4 = 102.10 kN 15.35 m
(Summation of Moment at Point-O)
ΣMo = 0.00 <<<Set this value to '0' using ''Goal Seek'' command by changing the value o
0 = H∗P0∗(0.5H+D)+ (H(P1−P0))/2 (D+H/3)+(D2∗P1)/2+z2(P3+P4)/6 −(P2−P1)/6
D= 8.37

III. Determine Tie Tod Tension
T = Active - Passive Forces
T= 165.82 kN
III. Locate Point of Zero Shear
T - P0 = 131.46
point of zero shear below water = 4.58
checker = 0.00 <<<Set this value to '0' using ''Goal Seek'' command by changing the value o
III. Maximum Moment
M0 = 197.31 = (P0 Area x L1)
M2 = 205.55 = (P2 Area x L1)
M1 = 43.11 = (P3 Area x L3)
M4 = 53.80 = (P3 Area x L3)
M5 = 1090.41 = (P3 Area x L3)
L1 = 5.74 m Due to Active above water
L2 = 2.29 m Due to active below water level
L3 = 1.52 m Due to active below water level
L4 = 4.04 m due to active surcharge
L5 = 6.58 m due Tie back
M= -590.63 = (M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 - M5)
III. Required Section Modulus
f= 207.00 = Allowable Stress = 0.6x fy
Sx req = 2853280 =M/f
Sx req = 2853.28 cm3/m
III. Summary
