LRFD Gravity Wall Design
LRFD Gravity Wall Design
(OP)
Has anyone started working with the LRFD code to do simple gravity wall designs? In my work so far it appears that eccentricity checks and bearing capacity checks come out similar to previous design methodologies, but I am running into some issues with sliding. Is anyone else finding it necessary to add foundation keys to stabilize their walls?

I don't follow you.
Are you saying that MIBridgeEng and I are using the wrong factors?
Please elaborate.

Basically the resulting factored resistance should be at least equal to the factored base shear force.
