: A very long reinforced concrete (SG=5.5) seawall has an overall height of 25 ft and a base width of 6 ft. The face of the seawall is curved having an exponential profile as indicated in the diagram below. The seawall is held in position by gravity (i.e. the weight of the seawall) but has the potential to fail by overturning about the toe point, T. For this seawall determine: the maximum water depth (ft) to avoid overturning. D = ? y(x)= ½ .e* ½ ft 6 ft 25 ft Toe (T) : A very long reinforced concrete (SG=5.5) seawall has an overall height of 25 ft and a base width of 6 ft.
