Combination of Actions 3. Lateral Earth Pressure (High water table) (EMAX)

Lateral Pressure (from separate calculation of lateral pressure by elastic theory)
(Active Side): Average Lateral Pressure due to nearby Slope, SSx
Active Soil Pressure at Wall Top S1 = = 0.0 kPa + 34 kPa = 33.7 kPa
Active Soil Pressure at D.G.W.L. S2 = Ko γ (H - hw) = 156.6 kPa + 34 kPa = 190.4 kPa
Active Soil Pressure at Base SLx = S1 + Ko (γ−γw) hw = 166.1 kPa + 34 kPa = 199.8 kPa

Combination of Actions 4. Lateral Earth Pressure (Low water table) (EMIN)

Lateral Pressure (from separate calculation of lateral pressure by elastic theory)
(Active Side): Average Lateral Pressure due to nearby Slope, SSx
Active Soil Pressure at Wall Top S1 = = 0.0 kPa + 34 kPa = 33.7 kPa
Active Soil Pressure at D.G.W.L. S2 = Ko γ (H - hw) = 156.6 kPa + 34 kPa = 190.4 kPa
Active Soil Pressure at Base SLx = S1 + Ko γ hw = 176.2 kPa + 34 kPa = 210.0 kPa
