Retaining Wall Design Problem 2 - Determine Lateral Force By Rankine Formula:
|
|
Given the proposed retaining wall below, calculate the lateral force acting on the wall using the Rankine formula. |
|
1. From the retaining walls submenu open the Coulomb's-Rankine formula calculation, RankineAEPC.aspx. Input the "Title" of the calculation, the "Designer/Checker" information and the variables.
Click on the "Calculate" button. Read the results. The lateral force by Rankine Formula is 14,227.870 lb/ft and the overturning moment is 94,852.470 lb-ft.
