Overburden Calculations for Active Pressure

This document summarizes the results of a toe stability check for a 3m deep trench with a retaining wall. It provides the soil properties, groundwater levels, excavation details, and calculations of active and passive pressures. The key results are: 1) Active and passive pressures were calculated for two soil layers considering unit weights, cohesion, friction angle, and groundwater levels. 2) The total active bending moment was calculated to be -20966.5 kNm/m. 3) The total passive bending moment was calculated to be 57014.1 kNm/m. 4) The required bending moment capacity of the wall was 45 kNm/m. 5)
