Earth Thrust Horizontal Component given Sum of Righting Moments Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust = ((Coefficient of Sliding Friction*Total Downward Force on Soil)/1.5)
Ph = ((μ*Rv)/1.5)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust is the force in the horizontal direction.
Coefficient of Sliding Friction - The Coefficient of Sliding Friction is a number that indicates how much sliding friction there is between two object for a given normal force pushing them together.
Total Downward Force on Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Total Downward Force on Soil is the net force on soil in the vertical direction.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Coefficient of Sliding Friction: 0.6 --> No Conversion Required
Total Downward Force on Soil: 500.1 Newton --> 500.1 Newton No Conversion Required

Earth Thrust Horizontal Component given Sum of Righting Moments
Go Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust = ((Coefficient of Sliding Friction*Total Downward Force on Soil)/1.5)
Total Downward Force on Soil for Horizontal Component
Go Total Downward Force on Soil = (Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust*1.5)/Coefficient of Sliding Friction
Total Downward Force on Soil when Resultant is Outside Middle Third
Go Total Downward Force on Soil = (Earth Pressure*3*Middle Third Distance)/2
Pressure when Resultant is Outside Middle Third
Go Earth Pressure = 2*Total Downward Force on Soil/(3*Middle Third Distance)
Resultant Outside Middle Third
Go Middle Third Distance = 2*Total Downward Force on Soil/(3*Earth Pressure)
Retaining Wall Righting Moment
Go Retaining Wall Righting Moment = 1.5*Overturning Moment
Overturning Moment
Go Overturning Moment = Retaining Wall Righting Moment/1.5
