Sample procedures to determine earth pressures C.1 Limit values of earth pressure (1) The limit values of earth pressure on a vertical wall, caused by soil of weight density (γ), uniform vertical surface load (q), angle of shearing resistance (ϕ) and cohesion (c) should be calculated as follows: — active limit state: σa(z) = Ka [ ∫γdz + q − u ] + u − c Kac
(C.1) where the integration is taken from ground surface to depth z Kac = 2√[Ka (1+a/c)], limited to 2,56√Ka — passive limit state: σp(z) = Kp [ ∫γdz +q − u ] + u + cKpc
(C.2) where the integration is taken from ground surface to depth z Kpc = 2√[Kp(1+a/c)], limited to 2,56√Kp where: a
is the adhesion (between ground and wall) c
is the cohesion
Ka
is the coefficient of effective horizontal active earth pressure Kp
is the c
