1. The document summarizes the design of a gravity retaining wall with a key depth of 0.3m. 2. Stability calculations are performed to check for sliding and overturning, accounting for passive pressure from the soil and concrete key. 3. The factor of safety against sliding is calculated to be 1.785, which meets the minimum requirement of 2.0 since passive pressure from the soil above point A is included.

Since Pmax is less than the allowable soil bearing capacity of 100 kPa, 1. Passive pressure from rc key always included.
the base is adequate=> O.K. ok 2. When key depth>0.3m, assume sliding surface within soil, ie, δ = Ø (but limit to 30 degrees)
