Coef.

of Active Pressure on Inclined Wall (Any Slope)


Dry granular materials

1 angle of internal frictin of material retained


θ = ˚ 30
= Rad 0.524

2 angle of friction between material and concrete wall,


µ = ˚ 0
= Rad 0.000

3 angle of slope of bank of retained material


Height of wall, Ha = mm 4500
Thickness of wall (top), tt = mm 300
Thickness of wall (bottom), tb = mm 300
β = ˚ 90.00
= Rad 1.571

4 angle of slope of concrete wall


(value = 0, if lavel fill is flat), Vertical = 1.0
Horizontal = 2.0
(not more than θ), Ø = ˚ 26.57
= Rad 0.464

5 Coef. Of active pressure, ka=(1/sin(µ+β)sinβ)*([sin(β-θ)/(α+1)sinβ]^2)


sin θ = 0.500
sin β = 1.000
cos µ = 1.000
sin(µ+β) = 1.000
sin(θ+µ) = 0.500
sin(θ-Ø) = 0.060
sin(β-Ø) = 0.894
sin(β-θ) = 0.866
α = 0.183
α+1 = 1.183
(α+1)sinβ = 1.183
sin(µ+β)sinβ = 1.000
ka = 0.536
