ABSTRACT
Ph = H 2 (0.16+n 2 )3 (C) Lateral pressure at points along the wall on each side of a perpendicular from the
concentrated load Q to the wall (Fig. 11.20b)
(11.66)
Lateral Pressure on a Rigid Wall due to Line Load A concrete block wall conduit laid on the surface, or wide strip loads may be considered as a series of parallel line loads as shown in Fig. 11.21. The modified equations for computing Ph are as follows:
(a) For m > 0.4
(11.67)
(a) For m :s; 0.4
(11.68)
Lateral Pressure on a Rigid Wall due to Strip Load A strip load is a load intensity with a finite width, such as a highway, railway line or earth embankment which is parallel to the retaining structure. The application of load is as given in Fig. 11.22.
