    This document provides design details for a 3m high gabion wall. It was designed by Eng. Lakshmi Narayan and approved by Eng. Irfan Ahmed. The design includes calculations for active soil pressure, passive pressure resistance, overturning stability, sliding resistance, and bearing capacity. Key values calculated include a factor of safety against overturning of 3.364237 and a sliding factor of safety of 2.512154.
