sizing of reinforcement question
sizing of reinforcement question
(OP)
Hi all,
I have to size reinforcement for a very thick short retaining wall (under 6 feet in height). The thickness (2.5 feet thick) is based on aesthetics and must be maintained.
For design of the stem, when I check to see what my min. As is based on the overall stem Ag per ACI, my requirement for reinforcement is obviously becomes very large - way more than what my flexure calcs actually require because the wall is so short.
Any insight/tips?
Thanks
