1. Load calculations were performed for earth loads, live loads, ring deflection, ring compression, and ring buckling.
2. Earth loads were calculated using Prism Load, Timoshenko equation, and Boussinesq equation models. Live loads included direct loads beneath a surcharge and adjacent non-direct loads.
3. Ring deflection and compression were found to be within limits for both Earth Load only and Earth Load + Live Load scenarios. Ring buckling stress was also within limits.
