Weights and Forces:
Consider 1.0 meter strip
Weight due to concrete wall, W1 = c*(h1-h)*b*t

17.400 KN

Weight due to concrete footing, W2 = c*L*b*h

15.360 KN

Weight to soil backfill, W3 = s*((L-t)/2)*(h1-h)*b

35.235 KN

Reaction induced by slab @ the upper level, RB

Force induced by seismic, PAE = (0.375(kh)(ws)(h1)2)
Force induced by surcharge load, Psur
Moment arm about toe:
Moment arm for soil induced force, d7 = 2*h1/3
Moment arm for surcharge force, d2 = h1/2
Moment arm for force due to slab above level, d3 = h1
Moment arm for soil backfill, d4 = L - (L-t)/4)
Moment arm for wight concrete wall, d5 = L/2
Moment arm for weight of concrete footing, d6 L/2
Check for factor of safety as per code provision:
Resisting Moment, RM = (RB*d3)+(W1*d5)+(W2*d6)+(W3*d4)
Overturning Moment, OM = (PAE*d1) + (Psur*d2)

Summation for vertical forces, Ry = W1 + W2 + W3

Check for factor of safety against sliding, FSSL = *(RY/(Psoil+Psur))
Thefore, Basement Retaining Wall is safe against sliding, Shear Key is not Needed
Check for factor of safety against overturning, FSOT= RM/OM
Therefore, Basement Retaining Wall is safe agaisnt overturning, section increase not needed
