    This document provides the design details for installing precast concrete retaining wall units for a project. It analyzes the structural requirements to meet Eurocode standards, including calculating the loads on the dowel connections between units. Ultimate moment of 90.22 kNm and shear force of 90.22 kN were calculated. The dowel diameter of 25mm was determined to provide sufficient shear strength of 183.88 N/mm2 and anchor length of 53.25mm to transfer the loads between units safely and meet the project's structural needs.

    DESIGN FOR PRECAST CONCRETE

    DESIGN FOR PRECAST CONCRETE RETAINING WALL
    UNITS INSTALLATION

    Introduction

    This report has been created to calculate and fully define all the
    requirement details for the construction retaining wall in the project which
    will made up from precast units. The all concept of this project is the more
    optimal and more economical design again to time and money expense
    keeping up the high aesthetics and the safety and health rules.

    From the project design predicted the construction of retaining wall as shown
    in the following figures 1, 2 and 3:

    Fig. 1

    Fig. 2

    Fig. 3

    Also, from the chosen provider company we have the following solution for
    the precast wall unit as shown in Fig 4 and 5

    Fig. 4

    Fig. 5

    We did two calculations for this precast retaining wall unit, the first was to
    ensure that met all checks which imposed from EC-7 (by the software Toixos
    2014, multisoft.gr ) and the second was to produce the loads which was
    appropriate for the dowels-shear and tension checks (by excel spreadsheet).
    These calculations follow bellow:

    As we can see from the second calculating, the loading which imposed to
    the four fix points - holes for installation the dowels are the following:

    Ultimate Destabilising Moment M 90.22 KNm

    And Critical Shear Force VEd 90.22 KN

    We use dowels with diameter equal to d=25mm

    And consequently from the equilibrium equation we have:


    M
    M 0 2 F d M 0 F 2 d
    t t

    Ft 69.4 KN

    So we have

    Shear stress per dowel equal to


    VEd 90.22 1000
    Sd 183.88 N / mm 2 0.6 500 N / mm 2 300 N / mm 2
    D 2
    25
    2
    3.14
    4 4

    And to undertake the above shear stress we need the following calculated
    anchor length:

    69.4 1000 69400


    lanc 53.25 mm 190 200 390 mm
    25 Sb 3.14 25 16.6

    For the grout material in annular region of the holes we will use Five star
    grout, is cement based grout material with pull-out strength 16.6 Mpa.

    Summary
    From the above analysis we have ensured that, all restrictions which are imposed from the
    Eurocodes and from the rules for safe and health kept up and of course ensured that we have
    one optimal and safe design for these structure.
