K = passive earth pressure coefficient 2. Earth Pressure At-Rest Vertical Effective Stress σ ᇱ = γz Horizontal Effective Stress σ ᇱ = Kγz For coarse-grained soils: K = 1 − sinφ ᇱ Where: φ′ = drained friction angle For a dense, compacted sand backfill, K = (1 − sinφ) + ቈ γௗ γௗ(୫୧୬) − 1 5.5 Where: γௗ = actual compacted dry unit weight of the sand behind the wall γௗ() = dry unit weight of the sand in the loosest state For overconsolidated soils ranging from clay to gravel, K = (1 − sinφ ᇱ)(OCR) ୱ୧୬ థᇲ Where: OCR = Overconsolidation ratio For overconsolidated clays, K(௩௦ௗ௧ௗ) = K(௬ ௦ௗ௧ௗ)√OCR For soils at rest, the total force per unit length of the wall, P, is equal to the area of the pressure diagram, P = 1 2 KγHଶ

Distribution of earth pressure at rest for partially submerged soil For z ≤ Hଵ, σ ᇱ = Kγz For z ≥ Hଵ, σ ᇱ = γHଵ + γ ᇱ(z − Hଵ ) Where: γ ᇱ = γ௦௧ − γ௪ = effective unit weight of soil The lateral pressure from pore water is u = γ௪(z − Hଵ ) Hence, the total lateral pressure from earth and water at any depth z ≥ Hଵ is equal to σ = σ ᇱ + u
