ΣFv = 0
1 γ B2tan ø + quxB = 2Pp +2C’ × Li sinø’

Therefore,
qu× B = 2Pp + BC’ tanø’ - ¼ γ B2tanø’ –------ (1)
The resultant passive pressure (Pp) on the surface
CB & CA constitutes three components ie. (Pp)r,
(Pp)c & (Pp) q,
Thus,
Pp = (Pp)r + (Pp)c + (Pp)q
qu× B= 2[ (Pp)r +(Pp)c +(Pp)q ]+ Bc’tanø’-¼ γ B2 tanø’
Thus, Nc’,Nq’ & Nr’ are B.C. factors for local shear failure
When, Dw =0
& when x = 0
where,
Nc,Nq, & Nr are Hansen’s B.C factors which are
some what smaller than Terzaghi’s B.C. factors.
Sc.Sq &Sr are shape factors which are
independent of angle of shearing resistance;
dc,dq, & dr are depth factors ;
Ic, iq & ir are iodination factors
The same form of equation has been
adopted by I.S. 6403 –1971 & may be used
for general form as
Si = q B 1- μ2/Es I
where
q -uniformly distributed load.
B - characteristic length of loaded area,
Es - modulus of elasticity of the soil.
μ - poisson's ratio.
I - influence factor which dependent upon
elastic properties of base & shape at base.
Alternatively, the value of [1- μ2/Es] I can be
determined from the plate load test.

a) mv = -(e / 1+ eo)/
b) for one dimension, v = H
mv = - (H / Ho) /
also mv = av / (1+ eo )
in which, eo- initial void ratio.
e - change in void ratio.
Ho initial thickness.
H – change in thickness.
3) Compression index ( Cc) is equal to the slope
of the linear portion of the void ration versus log
plot.
Cc = - e/ log 10 ( 0 + ) / 0
in which, 0 = initial effective stress.
