EARTH PRESSURE

( As per clause 5.12.6 I.R.S substructure code , page no. 14 )

Geo - technical Data For 1st Layer:-

Angle of Internal Friction(f)

Angle of Wall Friction(d) ,
d , = (2/3) x (f) , which is maximum of 22.5 Degree
Cohesion(C)
Submerged Density(F SUB)
Soil Density
Slope of wall (w.r.t.vertical face)
Slope of earth fill

Value Of DEGREE RADIAN

F = 30.00 0.52
d = 20.00 0.35
F = 0.00 0.00
i = 5.00 0.09

Height Of Above Layers = 3.00 meter

Height of Ist Layer = 2.925 meter
Height From Bottom = 5.600 meter

Coefficient of Active Earth Pressure :-

cos2(f-a)
Ka=
cos2a x cos(a-d )x[1+{sin(f+d)xsin(f-i)/cos(a+d)xcos(a-i)}1/2]2

0.75 0.9397 2.522

Ka= 0.316
Coefficient of Passive Earth Pressure :-

Kp= cos2(f+a)
cos2a x cos (a-d )x[1-{sin(f+d)xsin(f+i)/cos(a+d)xcos(a-i)}1/2]2
0.75 0.9396926208 0.169678

Kp= 4.70

Active earth pressure (pa)

= Kaxgxh - 2xCxKa1/2
when H=3.000 = -7.313 tonne/meter2
when H=2.925 = -6.665 tonne/meter2

Passive earth pressure (pp)

= Kpxgxh+2xCxKp1/2
when H=3 = 40.633 tonne/meter2
when H=2.925 = 50.264 tonne/meter2
