The stem acts as a continuous slab Soil pressure acts as the load on the
slab. Earth pressure varies linearly over
the height The slab deflects away from theearth face between the counterforts
The bending moment in the stem ismaximum at the base and reducestowards top. But the thickness of the wall is keptconstant and only the area of steelis reduced.

Design of Toe SlabThe base width=b =0.6 H to 0.7 HThe projection=1/3 to 1/4 of base width.The toe slab is subjected to an upward
soil reaction and is designed as acantilever slab fixed at the front face of the stem.
Reinforcement is provided on earth facealong the length of the toe slab.
In case the toe slab projection is large i.e.> b/3, front counterforts are providedabove the toe slab and the slab isdesigned as a continuous horizontalslab spanning between the frontcounterforts.

Design of Counterforts
The counterforts are subjected tooutward reaction from the stem. This produces tension along the
outer sloping face of the counterforts. The inner face supporting the stem is
in compression. Thus counterfortsare designed as a T-beam of varyingdepth.
The main steel provided along thesloping face shall be anchored
properly at both ends. The depth of the counterfort ismeasured perpendicular to thesloping side.

PROBLEM-Counterfort Retaining Wall A R.C.C. retaining wall with counterforts is
required to support earth to a height of 7 m abovethe ground level. The top surface of the backfill ishorizontal. The trial pit taken at the site indicatesthat soil of bearing capacity 220 kN/m 2 is availableat a depth of 1.25 m below the ground level. Theweight of earth is 18 kN/m 3 and angle of repose is30. The coefficient of friction between concreteand soil is 0.58 . Use concrete M20 and steelgrade Fe 415. Design the retaining wall.
