1) Horizontal Earth Pressure Considering of Ground Water (H1)

H1-1 = Ko x γt x h3
= 0.50 x 18.00 x 4.84 = 43.56 kN/m2

H1-2 = H1-1 + Ko x γ' x h4

43.56 + 0.50 x 9.00 x 1.76 = 51.48 kN/m2

where, γt = Wet unit weight of soil = 18.00 kN/m3

γsat = Saturated unit weight of soil = 19.00 kN/m3
γw = Unit weight of fresh water = 10.00 kN/m3
γ' = γsat - γw = 19.00 - 10.00 = 9.00 kN/m3

2) Horizontal Ground Water Pressure (H2)

H2 = γw x h4 = 10.00 x 1.76 = 17.60 kN/m2

3) Uplift Pressure by Ground Water (H3)

H3 = γw x (h2 + h4) = 10.00 x 2.16 = 21.60 kN/m2
