Design of Wing Wall

Wing wall will be monolithic with backwall. The load acting on the wing walls would be earth pressure and is
designed to withstand a live load equivalent to surcharge of 1.2 m height of earth fill [IRC:78-2000.]

Due to Earth pressure
Horizontal force due to earth pressure including Live load surcharge is given by
0.5* g * H² * tan²(45° - f/2)*L= At support At free end
Total Height of wing wall including live load surcharge (1.2m) 5.50 2.70
So the horizontal pressure is 76.97 18.55
Moment by earth pressure including live load surcharge = 242.38 kNm
