This project has both RC beams and slabs and as I am using design strip to help design my slab. However I found some design strips fail in either flexural or shear without reinforcement @ where RC beams are close.
So I create this simplified model trying to understand what is happening behind...
I am designing this retention using capping beams on piers. Capping beams are arranged to suit the slope and because of this I have to build walls (which are up to 1.7m high) above capping beams and then connect to the ground floor slab on top as shown below.
I am not sure if this is acceptable...
