In the preceding calculations, it is assumed that the backfill is dry, but it is necessary to investigate
the presence of water pressure behind the wall. The maximum water pressure occures when the whole
height of the basement wall is subjected to water pressure, and:

The maximum pressure may not be present continuously behind the wall. Therefore, if the ground is
intermittently wet, a percentage of the preceding pressure may be adopted, say 50%:

Note:
If the bending moment at the base of the wall is quite high, it may require a thick wall slab, for example
12 in. (30cm) or more. A hunch may be adopted which will reduce the thickness of the wall, because it
will be desinged for the moment at the section exactly above the haunch.
The basement slab may have a thickness greater than the wall thickness and may be extended outside
the wall by about 10in. (25cm) or more, as required.
