If thickness of long walls is 400 mm, the span of the short wall = 3.6 + 0.4 = 4.0 m.
It is assumed that end one metre width of long wall gives direct tension to short walls.
Note : The design is made at the base. The moment reduces from base to top.For economy, the
reinforcement can be curtailed or the thickness of wall can also be reduced as we have done for
cantilever retaining wall.
