Seismic Earth Pressure Calculation

1) The document provides soil parameters and equations to calculate dynamic earth pressures on a retaining wall from seismic loading. 2) Key parameters include a soil unit weight of 18 kN/m3, depth of 2.9m, and seismic coefficients of 0.09 and 0.06. 3) The analysis results in a maximum dynamic active earth pressure of 22.00 kN/m2. Equations are also provided for calculating dynamic passive pressure and coefficients related to seismic loading on the retaining wall.
