Data from SI:-

Friction Angel = Φ = 33.2 °
Weight of soil, = ϒ = 18.8 Kg/m³
Cohesive Strength = c = 0 KN/m²
Surchage Load = Wq = 0 KN/m²
Soil Bearing Pressure = = 150 KN/m²
Aditional Data:-
Weight of concrete = Wc = 24 Kg/m³
Factor of Safety = F.S = 1.4
μ = = 0.45
C/C distance of Counterfort = L = 3 m
Ka = tan²(45-Φ/2) = 0.29235 m
