BS-Theory: Passive earth pressure -Aufzählung

The coefficient of passive earth pressure can be calculated using several methods:

  • DIN 4085:2017,

  • DIN 4085: 2017 planar slip surfaces,

  • Streck,

  • Caquot/Kerisel,

  • DIN 4085:2017 planar slip surfaces/Caquot/Kerisel,

  • Culmann.

The earth pressure after Culmann is acquired by varying the slip surface angle (see Piling Handbook 1977). The forces at the earth pressure wedge are calculated using a slice method.
