Input data
As it can be seen in the following screenshot, there are three sets of input parameters in LateralK program:
Soil Properties Φ : Internal friction angle of soil in degrees (between 0 and 55) δ : Angle of friction between soil and concrete as ratio of F γ : Unit weight of backfill material
Geometry α : Back-slope angle in degrees β : Batter angle of rear face of the retaining wall Total Height of the wall, and buried portion of the wall
Seismic Parameters Horizontal and vertical peak ground accelerations
When all parameters are entered, press the Calculate button to view the results. |
