Elementary analysis for width/height ratio of retaining masonary structure

As we know that masonry structure cannot resist tension, hence all the lateral force should be resisted by its weight component only. In this article we will derive expression for width/height ratio for a simple rectangular masonry structure. Let, γ=density of water Sm=specific gravity of masonry material SL=specific gravity of material giving lateral force (e.g. [...]
