The projection=1/3 to 1/4 of base width.
The toe slab is subjected to an upward soil reaction and is designed as a cantilever slab fixed at the front face of the stem.
Reinforcement is provided on earth face along the length of the toe slab.
In case the toe slab projection is large i.e. > b/3, front counterforts are provided above the toe slab and the slab is designed as a continuous horizontal slab spanning between the front counterforts.
