Determine the pressure that a 15m high concrete wall produces on the foundation?

Concrete wall pressure on foundation:

P = F / S, where F is the force of wall pressure on the foundation, F = Fт = m * g, where m is the mass of the wall (m = ρ * V, where ρ is the density of concrete (ρ = 2200 kg / m3), V – the volume of the wall (V = h * S, where h is the height of the wall (h = 15 m), S is the area of the base of the wall)).

Let’s calculate the pressure of the concrete wall on the foundation:

P = F / S = m * g / S = ρ * V * g / S = ρ * h * S * g / S = ρ * h * g = 2200 * 15 * 10 = 330,000 Pa = 330 kPa.

Answer: The pressure of the concrete wall on the foundation is 330 kPa.
