Project 2 Retaining Wall: Oprea Alexandru

This document provides input data and calculations for the design of a retaining wall. It includes soil properties, dimensions of the wall and soil masses, and calculations to check for sliding stability, overturning, and bearing capacity. Three design approaches are considered and checked against safety factors. The maximum bearing pressure is calculated using both limit equilibrium analysis and the Culmann graphical method. Both indicate the bearing capacity is sufficient for the applied loads.
