ABSTRACT
Check for overturning The forces acting on the wall in Fig. Ex. 19.1(a) are shown. The overturning and stabilizing moments may be calculated by taking moments about point O.
The whole section is divided into 5 parts as shown in the figure. Let these forces be represented by wI' w2' ••• Ws and the corresponding lever arms as 11' 12, ... Is-Assume the weight of concrete Yc = 24 kN/m3• The equation for the resisting moment is
HM =Ph -o 3
The details of calculations are tabulated below.
