Overburden Calculations for Active Pressure

1. The document provides calculations of active and passive pressures for a 3m deep trench and shaft excavation with a wall toe level of 120mRL. 2. Key parameters include a surcharge of 13kPa, soil unit weights ranging from 18-20kN/m3, and groundwater levels of 125mRL and 122mRL on the active and passive sides respectively. 3. The results determine the total active moment of 358.7kNm/m and total passive moment of 329.4kNm/m, with the wall bending moment capacity of 45kNm/m found to be sufficient since the ratio of (Mp + Mw) / Ma is greater than 1.
