Thanks Guys,
Yes this is a MSE wall part of a road widening project. MSE wall is on both sides of an approach road the wall is about 8.0m(24.0 ft)with flexible precast box culvert at bottom (4.0m X 1.5m) opening to allow for passage of creek water. I like the idea of using a light weight...
I have a wall about 22ft high at the bottom of the wall there is precast box culvert opening about (3.6m wide X 1.5m high). The wall is holding up a roadway at the top. Some portion of the wall is sitting right above the precast box culvert opening. The wall will apply load on culvert.I am...
I am trying to design a Segmental Retaining Wall with modular block facing using NCMA design manual i am not sure how to account of CL-625 truck load typically we take 12kPA traffic surcharge (2.0 ft of earth behind wall) for heavy traffic. Would this suffice or do i have to apply heavier...
I have a situation whereby the architect has proposed 8.0 ft Acoustic fence behind Segmental Retaining Wall. Basically, its a Berm Application whereby wall sits in front of a berm. The grade difference at top of the berm is 3.0 and the wood fence is right behind the wall. The client has reject a...
Thanks for your replies i am not worried about the surcharge force from the above structures i am more worried about the wind effects that could apply force on to my SRW wall through the soil.
I have a situation whereby an Architect is proposing few temporary structures right behind the wall which is 4.0 ft high the finished surface would have on top patio pavers. The structures are Gazebo with 8 sonotube foundations with min 4.0 ft depth, a glass structure with sonotube foundation...
Thanks
In my case its polyester geogrids (Strata grid 200) but i guess the principle remains the same. Apply increased lateral pressure check external, internal stability of wall and also check global stability of entire wall slope geomerty.Based on the guide line i have attached i should apply...
how does it apply to Segmental Retaining Walls in my case. Should i include the loads in my internal & external stability calculation. VoyageofDiscovery (Structural) made a good point that i have to include them in Global Stability Calculation. I use ReSSa software for my global stability...
I have a situation whereby i am designing a Segmental Retaining Wall is Ht:- 1.575m it is holding up 2H:1V slope above i have designed tie back of 1.3m (0.83 base to ht ratio). The slope runs about 5.8m and then it tapers to Rail track. I am asked to account for rail load Cooper E90. I drew a...
I am trying run a global stablity analysis check for 7 low ht (0.5m) each seperated J=0.9m face to face using ReSSA3.0 by Aadma. How do i analyze that? Earlier for 2 tierd walls i use MSEW3.0 and export the .RSA file created by its analysis into ReSSa. But not sure how do i run Global Stabilty...
I am looking for a Design calculations for Simple terraced wall analysis where upper wall applies load on to lower wall externally and interally as well using NCMA design equations.
Thanks for all your help.
I am using MSEW software developed by Aadma. I have a question how do i model gravity modular retaining wall. I am able to analyze reinforced walls with different geomertic conditions like terraced, point load, building loads etc. However, i am not able to analyze Simple gravity retaining walls...
Thanks for all your replies. I would put this option to my client.If they still want to go ahead with a SRW wall would it still be feasible? From what i understand they client want to develop this property into high end residential scheme so he would want to go with something architectural but...
thanks for your replies.
i checked wall is failing because of Base sliding its moving forward not leaning(not a bearing failure).There are some block manufactures like unilock and redirock they have a big machine place stones whereby they can go as high as 7.0 to 8.0ft without grid some of...
