Earth Pressure Calculation
Backfill Soil Parameter Φ = Angle of internal friction = 30.00 degree = 0.52 Rad δ = Angle of friction between soil and concrete = 20.00 degree = 0.35 Rad I = Surcharge angle = 0.00 degree = 0.00 Rad α = Angle of wall face with horizontal = 90.00 degree = 1.57 Rad 3 γdry = Dry density of earth = 1.80 t/m
Coefficient of Active Earth Pressure
From Coulomb's theory of active earth pressure
Active earth presure Ka = sin 2 ( )
2 sin( ). sin( i ) sin . sin( ) 1 2 sin( ). sin( i ) Ka Dry = 0.297
LWL Condition: Top Level
Earth Pressure Intensity p1 = 0.297 x 1 x 1.8 2 = 0.535 t/m F1 = 0.5 x 0.535 x 1 x COS(20) = 0.251 t Lever Arm from base = 1.000 x 0.42 F1 1.0 = 0.42 m
Total Earth Pressure FE = 0.251 t/m
Total Moment about base MEP = 0.11 tm/m Foundation Level p1
