Load from slab is transferred as axial load to wall.
Reinforced concrete wall section.
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.
Reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls consist of a relatively thin stem and a base slab.
They support vertical loads and are vulnerable to minor axis bending.
The stem may have constant thickness along the length or may be tapered based on economic and construction criteria.
When depth is large it is called rc wall.
Reinforced concrete is a composite material in which concrete s relatively low tensile strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.
Design is similar to a rc column breadth equal to thickness of wall and depth equal to 1m.
The base is divided into two parts the heel and toe.
Reinforced concrete wall is classified as.
Design of reinforced concrete walls are in many ways like columns.
The heel is the part of the base under the backfill.
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.
Strength reduced from 136 7 to 114 9 in kips.
Rcc wall is designed as.
Reinforced concrete wall when reinforcement 0 4.
