p2 = ka. γ'.h' p3 = ka. w p1 = γ.h

Height of the Wall, lz = 1.61 m Wt. of water, γ = 10 kN/m3

Width of the Wall, lx = 1.35 m Wt. of soil, γ' = 20 kN/m3
Depth of Soil, h' = 1.6 m Surcharge, w = 20 kN/m2
ka = 0.333

a) Internal Face - Pressure due to Water

@ Serviceability Limit State
Depth of Water (taken at working level), h = 0.00 m
Water Pressure acting @ Bottom of Wall, p1 = γ.h = 0 kN/m2/m

@ Ultimate Limit State

Depth of Water (taken at top of wall level), h = 1.61 m
Water Pressure acting @ Bottom of Wall, p1 = 1.4*γ.h = 22.568 kN/m2/m

a) External Face - Pressure due to Soil + Surchage

@ Serviceability Limit State
Depth of Soil = 1.61 m
Soil Pressure acting @ Bottom of Wall, p2 = ka.γ'.h' = 10.73592 kN/m2/m
Pressure due to surcharge, p3 = ka.w = 6.66 kN/m2/m

@ Ultimate Limit State

Soil Pressure acting @ Bottom of Wall, p2 = 1.4*ka.γ'.h' = 15.030288 kN/m2/m
Pressure due to surcharge, p3 = 1.4*ka.w = 9.32
