I Wall design guidelines
I Wall design guidelines
(OP)
I have plenty of information about inverted T wall design for cantilever retaining and/or flood walls but I need design guidelines for I-walls. Any suggested sources?

RE: I Wall design guidelines
Sum (H) =< Sum (V)*tg(2/3 Fi) (sliding stability)
Sum (Mo) =< Sum (V)*x (overturn stability)
wheres Sum (H) is the sum of horizntal Soil load
Sum V is the sum of all the vertical loads
x is arm between O (the point of turning) and fixing load
Mo is the sum of the adverse loads
Note that some vertical Loads in this case might be Adverse
Note that the soil under the top stem will not bare the soil weight above
I hope I could help, Try to mail me a drawing to understand the problem more sido_r@ureach.com

so i can answer proper
RE: I Wall design guidelines
For I-wall design, incorporate a factor of safety into your soil parameters, develop the active and passive pressure diagrams on each side of the wall (include any water pressures also). Determine the net pressure diagram based on the failure mode of the wall. Use statics to find the inflection point, and then the tip elevation. Then determine the max moment as if it were a cantilever beam.
