Project: MBTA Project No. E22CN07, GLXC Project No. 4019139 DP24 New South Abutment SPL Wall Design Temporary Condition 2 - Strength I

This document summarizes the analysis and design checks for a retaining wall project. It includes tables with results for wall moments and shears, displacements, stresses, support reactions, stability factors, and tieback data. The analysis found the maximum wall moment was 178.36 k-ft/ft, factors of safety for stability and embedment were above 1.0, and structural stresses were below capacity. Support reactions were below geotechnical limits. In summary, all design checks were successful.
