Wall Bearing

Checks bearing pressure adequacy beneath a retaining wall base by computing the eccentricity of the resultant vertical load and applying Meyerhof's effective width method (B' = B - 2e). Compares the maximum bearing pressure on the reduced contact area against the allowable bearing capacity, using Meyerhof bearing capacity factors with depth corrections per AS 4678.
