    This document provides information about soil properties and calculations for lateral earth pressure. It defines the soil unit weight γ as 17 kN/m3, saturated unit weight γsat as 19 kN/m3, water unit weight γw as 9.81 kN/m3, and effective unit weight γ' as 9.19 kN/m3. It also gives the depth of the water table Hw as 3m, depth below water table zw as Hw or 3m, total depth Ht as 6m, and a vertical force F of 20.46 kN/m. It then calculates the active earth pressure coefficient Ka, active earth pressure Pa, water pressure Pw, and the force balance
