Eg:
Calculate the intensity of active earth pressure at a depth of 12m. in dry cohesionless soil. The coefficient of earth pressure is 1/3 & unit weight = 16KN/m³.
Given data:
Depth = H = 12m.
Earth pressure coefficient = Ka = 1/3
Unit wt. = Ɣ = 16KN/m³.
To find:
The intensity of active earth pressure = Pa =?
Calculation:

The intensity of active earth pressure is calculated by the formula
Pa = [KaƔ H]
= [ 1/3 Х 16 Х 12]
Pa = 64 KN/m².
Thank you for going through these calculation steps❤. Have a good day 😄.
