where, x1 = centre of gravity of vertical loads from toe
H = depth of bottom of base below the earth surface
Ph = horizontal component of earth pressure
Check against sliding
Sufficient frictional resistance
must be available against sliding
caused by the horizontal
component of the earth pressure.

Pp = p tan 2 45+ 2 = p k p
where, Pp = unit passive pressure on soil
above shearing plane AB
p = Earth pressure at BC
R = Total passive resistance = Pp × a
Design of shear key – contd..
If W = total vertical force acting at the key base¨
Ø = shearing angle of passive resistance
R = total passive force = Pp × a
Pa = active horizontal pressure at key base for H+a
μ W = totalfrictionalforceunderflatbase
for equilibrium, R + μ W = FOS × PA
FOS = R+μ W PA 1.55
Maximum pressure at the toe
Let the resultant R due to W and Pa lie at a distance x from the toe
x =M W,
M = sum of all moments about toe
