    The document discusses the effect of surcharge on lateral pressure and resultant thrust. Lateral pressure increases due to additional surcharge load. The total active lateral thrust is calculated as a triangular shape due to the retained material behind the retaining wall producing an increased thrust.

    lateral pressure due to surcharge, resultant thrust due to retained material is triangular thus the total
    active lateral thrust has to be obtained
