Overturning Moment Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overturning Moment = Retaining Wall Righting Moment/1.5
M_o = M_r/1.5
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Overturning Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Overturning Moment is the moment of energy capable of upsetting the object.
Retaining Wall Righting Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Retaining Wall Righting Moment is the force that prevents it from tipping or overturning due to external loads.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Retaining Wall Righting Moment: 15.1 Newton Meter --> 15.1 Newton Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_o = M_r/1.5 --> 15.1/1.5

Evaluating ... ...

Earth Thrust Horizontal Component given Sum of Righting Moments

Go Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust = ((Coefficient of Sliding Friction*Total Downward Force on Soil)/1.5)

Total Downward Force on Soil for Horizontal Component

Go Total Downward Force on Soil = (Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust*1.5)/Coefficient of Sliding Friction

Total Downward Force on Soil when Resultant is Outside Middle Third

Go Total Downward Force on Soil = (Earth Pressure*3*Middle Third Distance)/2

Pressure when Resultant is Outside Middle Third

Go Earth Pressure = 2*Total Downward Force on Soil/(3*Middle Third Distance)

Resultant Outside Middle Third

Go Middle Third Distance = 2*Total Downward Force on Soil/(3*Earth Pressure)

Retaining Wall Righting Moment

Go Retaining Wall Righting Moment = 1.5*Overturning Moment

Overturning Moment

Go Overturning Moment = Retaining Wall Righting Moment/1.5

Overturning Moment Formula

Overturning Moment = Retaining Wall Righting Moment/1.5
M_o = M_r/1.5

What is the Meaning of Retention Wall?

A retaining wall is a structure that holds or retains soil behind it. There are many types of materials that can be used to create retaining walls like concrete blocks, poured concrete, treated timbers, rocks or boulders. Some are easy to use, others have a shorter life span, but all can retain soil.
