Vertical Earth Pressure
Vertical Earth Pressure
(OP)
Friends,
I work for a precaster and design underground structures. I have an enclosed structure that is buried 45~50 deep from the top of the structure. I am determining the loads and was wondering if I could be a little less conservative than taking the unit weight of the soil x the depth with respect to this load.
Is there any literature that someone can point me to.
Thanks
LNT
