The magnitude of reaction transferred to each counterfort at F and G
Reaction at F = 714.82 kN/m 80.47 350.32
Reaction at G = 40.21 kN/m 551.20
Thus at any depth(h) from top, the horizontal e/p acting
8.56 h = 15.65
Therefore, Horizontal pressure at top of front counterfort = 134.01 kN/m
Shear force at top of front counterfort = 1048.59 kN/m
Counterfort act as a T-Beamand the depth available is more than required from ac
tual desing consideration. Even as a
rectangular beam the depth required is given by;
Required depth of Stem slab = = 1232.42 mm
Ok , Provided depth is greater
Available depth(GK) calculate by:
Tan? =FG/AB 0.436
? = 30 Degree
GK = 4.450 m
Required tension steel, Ast = = 4589.98 mm2
Required Number of reinforcement of 32 mm dia. @ 7Nos.
Providing the reinforcemt of 1.75 layer each layer contained 4 bar
Curtailment of reinforcement in counterfort;
Since the earth pressure and other forces in the counterfort decreases towards t
he top,So it is possible to curtail reinforcement
total number of bar provided at bottom, n = 7
total number of bar to be curtail, m = 6
Therefore, h = 7.805 m below top Plus the development length
Shear Force Check;
Effective shear force in a case of beam of varying depth is determined by;
V = V'-M/d tan ? 773298.3 N
where,
d= de/Cos? 5138.42 mm
VFG = V' = 1014.25 kN
Actual Shear stress , tv = V/bd 0.25 N/mm2
Percentage of tensile steel = (100Ast)/(bd) = 0.19 %
Design of horizontal ties;
Due to horizontal earth pressure the vertical stem has a tendency of separating
out from the couterforts , Hence it should be
tied to it by horizontal ties.
At any depth(h) below the top the force causing the tendency of separation = ?.h

The magnitude of reaction transferred to each counterfort at F and G
Reaction at F = 554.40 kN/m
Reaction at G = 90.70 kN/m
Due to action of upward forces,the front counterfort will have a tendency to ben
d as a horizontal cantilever about section BH
So, the face CH will develop compressive stresses and the face B'C' will develop
tensile stresses.
Total upward force = 1612.76 kN
