Dead surcharge load; pD,sur = 65 psf
Axial live load on top of wall ; PL = 6.4 kips/ft
Live surcharge load; pL,sur = 1800 psf
Retained soil properties
Soil type; Medium dense fine or silty sand
Moist density; γmr = 120 pcf
Moist soil height; hmoist = 10 ft
Saturated density; γsr = 120 pcf
Saturated soil height; hsat = 0 ft
Effective internal resistance angle; φr = 30
Effective wall friction angle; δr = 15

Base soil properties


Net allowable bearing pressure; [Link] = 2500 psf
Base soil density; γb = 120 pcf
Factor of safety; FoSsoil = 3
Using Coulomb theory
At rest pressure coefficient; K0 = 1 - sin(φr) = 0.5

ASCE 7-16 load combinations (ASD)


D + H (0.200)
D + H + L (0.534)
Critical ASD combination results: D + H + L
Lateral pressure
Live surcharge pressure; [Link] = K0 × cos (δr) × pL,sur = 869.3 psf
