Forces and moments are calculated about the base and the front toe of the wall.The base block width or bottom reinforcement length is used in the calculations. The concrete units, granular fill over the blocks or reinforced zone soils are used as resisting forces. EARTH PRESSURES The method of analysis uses the Coulomb Earth Pressure equation (below)to calculate active earth pressures. Wall friction is assumed to act at the back of the wall face.The component of earth pressure is assumed to act perpendicular to the boundary surface. The effective delta angle is delta minus the wall batter at the back face (assumed to be vertical). If the slope breaks within the failure zone, a trial wedge method of analysis is used.

In the NCMA design method, earth pressures are calculated using the Coulomb Earth pressure equation. Infinite surcharge loads are applied as q x ka. In designs were there is a broken back slope, or the surcharge is not uniform over the area, a tie-back wedge analysis method is used.

In an NCMA design the failure place is defined as the Coulomb failure plane which varies with face batter, backslope angle, and surcharge loads applied. All failure planes begin at the tail. of the facing units. For AASHTO calculations, the liveload surcharge is not included in the Tmax value for pullout. Failure Plane Angle= 55.8 Deg NOTE:The pullout capacity is limited by the LTDS of the reinforcing layer, not the ultimate pullout capacity calculated.

In an AASHTO LRFD design, creep on the connection may be applied for frictional and mechanical connections. In NCMA or AASHTO 2002, a frictional failure is based on the peak connection capacity divided by a factor of safety. For a rupture connection the capacity is the peak load divided by a creep reduction factor and a factor of safety.
