    1. The document provides data on the properties of a retaining wall including its height, foundation depth and soil properties. 2. Preliminary proportions for the wall include a base slab thickness of 420mm, stem thickness of 450mm tapering to 150mm, and base slab length of 3m. 3. Calculations show the retaining wall is stable against overturning with a factor of safety of 2.26, greater than the required 1.4.

    The document discusses the design of a retaining wall including its dimensions, properties of the wall and backfill materials, preliminary design proportions, and checking stability against overturning.

    The retaining wall has a height of 5.25m above ground, with a foundation depth of 1.25m. The backfill soil has a unit weight of 16 kN/m3 and an angle of shearing resistance of 30 degrees.

    The preliminary design involves determining the thickness of the footing base slab and stem, estimating the depth and length of the retaining wall, and showing the preliminary proportions in a figure.
