    Design of Gravity Wall by Using T.V.A. Procedure

    Uploaded by

    p_ignatius
    The document describes the design of a gravity wall using the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) procedure. It involves calculating the forces and moments acting on the wall to determine stresses on the concrete and soil. Calculations are shown for taking moments about points A and B. Checks are performed to ensure stresses are within allowable limits and there is sufficient factor of safety against sliding. The design is found to meet requirements for stress limits and stability.

    Procedure :

    Unit wt. of Masonry = 2.400 t/m3


    Unit wt. of Concrete = 2.400 t/m3
    Unit wt. of Dry earth = 1.800 t/m3

    ΣH = 0.697 ΣM = 3.115

    Lever arm = ΣM / ΣV = 3.115 / 5.30 = 0.587 m

    Eccentricity = 0.587 - 0.90 /2 = 0.137 m

    Permissible 'e' = 0.90 /6 = 0.150 > 0.137 HENCE OK

    a. Check for Stresses :


    5.30 1 + 6 x 0.137 = 11.273 t/sq.m.
    Max. Comp. Stress = x
    0.900 0.900

    5.30 1 - 6 x 0.137 = 0.511 t/sq.m.


    Min. Stress = x

    b. Check for Sliding :
    Total Vertical Load ( ΣV ) = 5.303 t
    Total Horizontal Load ( ΣH ) = 0.697 t

    Factor of safety against sliding = μ ΣV
    ΣH
    = (0.5 * 5.303) / 0.698
    = 3.8 > 1.5 HENCE O.K.

    ΣV = 6.158
    ΣH = 0.697 ΣM = 3.921

    Lever arm = M/V = 3.921 / 6.158 = 0.637 m

    Permissible 'e' = 1.10 / 6 = 0.183 > 0.087 HENCE O.K.

    a. Check for Stresses :
