Concrete block shouldbe designad with suficont resistance to withstand the thrust

For sft ground, the sail surrounding the block should be replaced with sand or any
ther appropriate material which wil provide slficient passive sll reaction.
“The boaring capacity ofthe ground should also be checked carol. the bearing
capacity isnot enough, either te base area ofthe block should be enlarged or ples
te supper the block should be employed
‘There are soveral types of concrete block. Some biocks cover the whole bend or to
and others do not.

8) Safety factor: S:

‘The calculated safety factor is larger than 1.5, therefore this block will be

When the bearing capacity of the grounds larger than the calculated figures, the
block will bo satisfactory; but if not, the bottom of the block should be enlarged.
