Structural Design:
Considere 1.0m length of Cable trench.

Total Horizontal Active Earth Pressure Pact. = 26.659 KN

Pact. = 0.5 x (Ka x gs x (H + TB)2) + (q x Ka) x (H + TB)

Moment due to soil pressure Msoil. = 16.857 KN.m

Msoil. = 0.16667 x (Ka x gs x H3) + 0.5 (q x Ka x H2)

Moment due to cable load Mcab. = 1.125 KN.m

Mcab. = 0.5 x (W1 + W2 + W3) x BCT x Sip

Total Moment at base level of wall MTotal. = 17.982 KN.m

MTotal. = Msoil.+ Mcab.

Design of Wall:

Consider 1.0m length of wall b= 1.0 m

Clear cover to main reinforcement cv. = 50 mm

Diameter of bar to be used f = 10 mm

Effective thickness of wall TWeff. = 0.195 m

TWeff. = TW - cv - f/2

Load factor to be used during design f= 1.4

k= 0.0189

k = (MTotal x f)/(b x TWeff2 x Fcu)

Zcal = 0.979 TWeff.

Z = [ 0.5 + 0.25 - k/0.9 ] x TWeff

Zmax = 0.95 TWeff.

Hence Z = 0.95 TWeff.

Z = 185.25 m

Area of steel required, Ast= 339.57 mm2

Ast= f. MTotal/(0.87*Fy*Z)

Minimum Are of steel required. Astmini= 325.0 mm2

Astmini= (0.13 b TW)/100

Hence Provide area of steel as = 339.6 mm2

Hence Provid 10 mm dia bars at 225 mm c/c. as vertical reinforcement

on outer face of the wall.

Provide Minimu percentage of steel as horizontal reinforcement.

Hence Provide 8mm dia bars at 175 c/c. as horizontal reinforcement.

Shear Check:

Total Horizontal shear force Pact. = 26.659 KN

Maximu shear stress developed. n = 0.191 N/mm2

n = (f . Pact.)/ (b . TWeff)
Allowable Shear stress nMini.= 4.733 N/mm2

nMini.= Minimum of 5 Mpa & 0.8 .Sqrt(Fcu)

Conclusion:Hence size is Okay

Design concrete shear strength.

Percentage of steel Provided. Pt. = 0.140

Pt. = Astprov. 100/ b.TW

From BS 8110 Part 1, Page no.23 Table 3.8

For TWeff. = 0.195 and Pt. = 0.140

Allowable shear strength of concrete ncon.= 0.23 N/mm2

Conclusion: IF (n < ncon. , "Hence Safe in Shear check", Fail in Shear check.")

Conclusion:Hence Safe in Shear check

Design of Base Slab:

Consider 1.0m length of wall b= 1.0 m

Clear cover to main reinforcement cv. = 50 mm

Diameter of bar to be used f = 10 mm

Effective thickness of Base slab TBeff. = 0.195 m

TBeff. = TB - cv - f/2

Load factor to be used during design f= 1.4

Moment at base slab due to base pressure MBase= 12.853 KN.m
