Figure 2: Recommended apparent earth pressure diagram for stiff to hard clays according to FHWA.
In both cases for figures 2.4 and 2.5, the maximum pressure can be calculated from the total force as:
For walls with one support: p= 2 x Load / (H +H/3)
For walls with more than one support: p= 2 x Load /{2 H – 2(H1 + Hn+1)/3)}
