    Gabion Wall Design

    Uploaded by

    mullahurt
    The document describes the design of a gabion wall with 10 courses. It provides input parameters for the wall batter angle, effective rear wall angle, backfill slope angle, and backfill and foundation soil properties. It then calculates the stability of the wall against overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity failure through Coulomb analysis. This includes calculating the active thrust, resisting moments, sliding and resisting forces, and stress in the wall foundation. The analysis finds safety factors above 1.5 for overturning, sliding and bearing capacity, indicating the wall design is stable and safe.
