🧱 Dry-Stone Enclosure Wall: Batter, Gust Overturning, Sliding and Middle Third (2D)

Cross-section of a tapered dry-stone wall like the Great Enclosure of Great Zimbabwe, loaded by a horizontal gust. Set height, base and top thickness, stone density, ground friction and gust pressure and read the safety factors against overturning and sliding, the pressure under the wall, the middle-third limit and the tipping angle. Four numerical checks run in the page.
