Sliding (Retaining Wall)

The calculation is made according to [1] 6.5.3

The following inequality shall be satisfied:

• H_d < R_d + R_p,d
• H_d = horizontal load
• R_d = design shear resistance due to friction at plate bottom
• R_p,d = resistance due to earth pressure on the plate sides (not considered in the program)

Horizontal load

• H_d = H_x or H_d = H_y

If a horizontal load acts in both directions the resulting load will be calculated as:

• H_d = (H_x² + H_y²)^0.5

The partial resistance factor γ_R,h considering uncertainties in the analytical model is predefined for design approach 3.
