Soil pressure coefficient considering earthquake by Mononobe-Okabe
Active soil pressure coefficient considering earthquake by Mononobe-Okabe can be obtained by following equation. (USACE EM 1110-2-2100 Appendix G)
import numpy as np kh=0.077 # horizontal seismic coefficient #kh=0 # horizontal seismic coefficient kv=0 # vertical seismic coefficient phi=np.radians(30.0) # internal friction angle of soil alpha=0 # gradient of wall surface beta=0 # gradient of ground surface delta=0 # friction angle of wall surface theta=np.arctan(kh/(1-kv)) # seismic inertia angle c1=np.cos(phi-alpha-theta) c2=np.cos(theta) * (np.cos(alpha))**2 * np.cos(alpha+delta+theta) c3=1 + np.sqrt(np.sin(phi+delta) * np.sin(phi-beta-theta) / np.cos(alpha+beta+theta) / np.cos(alpha-beta)) Ka=c1**2/c2/c3**2 print(Ka)
Calculation results are shown below.
Ka=0.381 # earthquake (kh=0.077, kv=0) Ka=0.333 # normal (kh=0, kv=0)
That's all. Thak you.
