= Angle of Friction of Soil = 33
= Angle of Friction Between Soil and Abutment = 16.5
= Backfil Slope Angle = 0 (Level Backfill) = 0
= Slope of Soil Face = 0 (Vertical Rear Face of Stem) = 0
= Seismic Angle of Friction of Soil = 21.8
= Acceleration Coefficient = 0.27
= 21.8
= Horizontal Acceleration Coefficient
= 0.4
= Vertical Acceleration Coefficient
0
Check horizontal acceleration coefficient (AASHTO C6.3.2 I-A):
