ABSTRACT
Figure 11.15(a) shows the case of a wall in the active state with cohesive material as backfill. The water table is at a depth of HI below the top of the wall. The depth of water is H2•
The lateral pressure on the wall due to partial submergence is due to soil and water as shown in Fig. 11.15(b). The pressure due to soil = area of the figure ocebo.
