Determination of Coefficient of active earth pressure - FILL Check by: Version:

Calculation of coefficient active earth pressure based on GEOGuide 1 Fig. 18

Soil: FILL

Effective friction angle of soil f' = 30 deg

wall friction angle da = 2f/3 (Refer to Geoguide 1 Table14)
sloping ground angle b = 0 deg
calculated coefficient of active earth pressure ka = 0.3
calculated coefficient of horizontal active earth pressure kah = 0.3 x cos 2f/3
= 0.28

Determination of Coefficient of active earth pressure - COLL or CDG Check by: Version:

Calculation of coefficient active earth pressure based on GEOGuide 1 Fig. 18

Soil: COLL or CDG

Effective friction angle of soil f' = 36 deg

wall friction angle da = 2f/3 (Refer to Geoguide 1 Table14)
sloping ground angle b = 0 deg
calculated coefficient of active earth pressure ka = 0.24
calculated coefficient of horizontal active earth pressure kah = 0.24 x cos 2f/3
= 0.22
