1 Determination of Lateral pressure, Vertical pressure and Frictional traction for Symmetrical filling load condition

Phf (z) = Horizontal pressure at depth Z = Pho*YR(z) (T/M2)

Pwf (z) = Wall friction traction at depth Z = m*Phfj(z) (T/M2)
Pvf (z) = Vertical pressure at depth Z = g*Zv(z) (T/M2)

ho = r/3*tanfr = 4
zo = (1 / (K*m))*(A / U) M
Pho = g*K*zo = g*1/m*A/U = (T/M2)
n = - (1+tan fr)(1-ho/zo) -1.44 ( for maximum normal pressure calculation )
-1.41 ( for maximum frictional traction calculation )
