Mu Mu/bd P Min P: Design of Toe Element Load (KN) Distance From Heel (M)

This document summarizes the design of a toe slab for a retaining wall. It calculates the required area of steel reinforcement as 540 mm^2 with 10 mm diameter bars spaced at 140 mm centers. It also checks that the toe slab is safe under shear forces at the junction with the retaining wall, with a calculated shear stress of 0.283 N/mm2 being less than the permissible shear stress of 0.37 N/mm2.

Design of toe

Mu = 43.01 kNm Element Load (kN) Distance from Heel (m)

Mu/bd = 0.269 Toe slab 0.75 x 0.45 x 25 = 8.44 -3.164
pt = 0.085 % Pressure distribution rectangle 97.99 x 0.75 = 73.49 27.6
min p t = 0.12 % Pressure distribution triangle
0.5 x 22.6 x 1 x 0.75 = 8.48 4.24

Ast = 540 mm Total 73.53 28.67
Spacing, 10mm dia = 145.4 mm
Minimum spacing = 300 or 3d
Provide 10 mm dia @ 140 mm c/c
Check for Shear at junction
Critical section is at d from junction (since soil pressure induces compression in wall0
S.F = (120.6 + 110.04)/2 x .35 - (0.45 x 0.35 x 25)
= 75.45
Maximum factored shear force = 113.2 kN
tv = 0.283 N/mm2
pt = 0 %
tc = 0.37 N/mm2
Hence safe
