ANALYSIS
Case A: Fixed Bottom & Pinned Top, with Lateral Soil Pressure Increasing Uniformly to Bottom
SERVICE LOADS
Hb = 0.5 Pa H22 = 0.41 kips / ft
Hs = ws Pa H2 / b = 1.32 kips / ft
HLat = wLat (H1 + H2) = 0.00 kips / ft
HE = 0.5 PE (H2)2 = 0.60 kips / ft
Ww = t ( H1 + H2 ) c = 0.93 kips / ft
FACTORED LOADS
Hb = 1.6 Hb =
0.66 kips / ft
Hs = 1.6 Hs =
2.12 kips / ft
