    The document provides calculations for earth pressures on a retaining wall with a soil unit weight of 120 lb/cu.ft, wall height of 3 ft, and soil friction angle of 32 degrees. It determines the active earth pressure coefficient is 0.307259, resulting in a horizontal pressure at the bottom of the wall due to earth of 110.6131 psf. The total horizontal pressure is calculated to be 141.3389 psf when including a 100 psf surcharge pressure.
