Purpose
The Earth Pressure Calculator Skill determines lateral earth pressures on retaining structures using Rankine, Coulomb, and seismic methods for design of retaining walls and basement walls.
Capabilities
- Active earth pressure (Rankine, Coulomb)
- Passive earth pressure
- At-rest earth pressure
- Surcharge effects
- Layered soil conditions
- Seismic earth pressure (Mononobe-Okabe)
- Sloping backfill effects
- Water pressure considerations
Usage Guidelines
When to Use
- Designing retaining walls
- Analyzing basement walls
- Evaluating excavation support
- Assessing seismic pressures
Prerequisites
- Soil parameters available
- Wall geometry defined
- Surcharge loads identified
- Groundwater level known
Best Practices
- Select appropriate theory
- Consider wall movement
- Include seismic where required
- Account for drainage
