Retaining Wall Surcharge Load

While we are designing a retaining wall for a factory, how will we calculate the surcharge value that trucks weighing 50-60 tons, which will enter the factory and unload material, will affect this wall? (The wall will be 3 meters, after filling with filling, truck passes will be provided over the filling, 1 meter away from the wall)
 
Surcharge-truck load Hello, a ramp will be created by making a reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall roughly as in the attached image, the back of the wall is in the form of a natural floor, the garbage truck will exit using the ramp over the floor behind the wall, the ramp is only for this purpose. How can I calculate the surcharge load from the truck while sizing the retaining wall to be used, how many tons/m2 should the surcharge load acting on the wall be?
 
Re: surcharge-truck load Here, the number of axles of the truck, etc. If situations like this are a factor, at least if I could learn the calculation method, I would provide the technical specifications of the real truck and revise the calculations accordingly, but the only technical data I have at the moment is that the truck is 18 tons with its fully loaded state.
 
Hello, how a strip load at a distance of L can be affected on the retaining wall is explained in the special cases section of Mustafa Gündüz's book. I am sharing the photo of the relevant page. The explanations can give you an idea. (Retaining Walls Static Dynamic Analysis, Mustafa Duzgun Sy: 134-135) The truck load can be considered as the strip load at a distance of L from the wall for a unit wall. Low resolution photo of the pages: High resolution photo of the pages: Also, I found the following English document regarding the subject. (Sy:14-15-16)

Thank you very much for your answer, Mr. Hakan, I have searched many sources, but there is no data on the effect of the distributed load at a distance of L from the wall, only the image you shared. In general, all documents have explained the subject as in the attached image, that is, the distributed load is directly adjacent to the wall and at a right angle. Also, if there are other friends who are interested in the subject, I leave one more image to help. The q value is already given in the image, this value can be used directly in the retaining wall calculation.
