Underground STP Structural Loading

Soil Bearing Capacity, SBC 150 kPa


Unit Wt. of Water, λw 9.81 kN/m3
Unit Wt. of Soil, λs 15.70 kN/m3
Surcharge, qa 12.000 kPa
Water Ht., hw 1.80 m
Soil Ht.,hs 1.80 m
Angle of Friction, θ 30 0.523598775598299
sinθ 0.5
Rankines Active Pressure Coef., Ka 0.333
Rankines Passive Pressure Coef., Ko 0.5
Pw = λw*hw 17.658 kPa
Ps1 = λs*Ka*hs 9.420 kPa
Ps2 = qa*Ko 6.000 kPa
Total Soil Pressure 15.420 kPa

Case 1 Water Pressure


At Z= 0
Pressure = 17.658
17.658 =C*0+D
so, D= 17.658
At Z= 1.8
Pressure = 0
0 =C*1.8+17.658
so C= -9.81
Case 2 Soil + Surcharge Pressure
At Z= 0
Pressure = 15.42
15.42 =C*0+D
so, D= 15.42
At Z= 1.8
Pressure = 6
6 =C*1.8+15.42
so C= -5.23333333333333
