    The document discusses guidelines for calculating dynamic earth pressures on retaining walls. It provides formulas for calculating the total dynamic force due to passive earth pressure and the dynamic increments for active and passive pressures due to uniform surcharge. The point of application of dynamic increments and static components is specified as either mid-height of the wall, 0.5h above the base, 0.66h above the base, or h/3 above the base depending on the type of pressure calculation. Formulas include coefficients and variables like wall height, soil properties, and average/maximum soil pressure.

    AMENDMENT TO IRC:6-2014

    Z
    Ah , for zone factor Z, refer Table 6 of IRC:6
    2
    For design purpose, the greater value of Ca shall be taken, out of its two values corresponding to ± Av.
    Point of application - From the total pressure computed as above subtract the static active pressure obtained by
    putting Ah = Av
    The static component of the total pressure shall be applied at an elevation h/3 above the base of the wall. The
    point of application of the dynamic increment shall be assumed to be at mid-height of the wall.

    The total dynamic force in kg/m length wall due to dynamic Passive earth pressure shall be:
    1
    (Ppw)dyn = wh2 Cp
    2
    where,
    Cp

    Cp = 214.1.2(b)

    –1
    Ah
    1 Av
    Point of application – h
    = v
    given in equation 214.1.2(b), subtract the total pressure computed as above. The remainder is the dynamic
    decrement. The static component of the total pressure shall be applied at an elevation h/3 above the base of the
    wall. The point of application of the dynamic decrement shall be assumed to be at an elevation 0.5 h above the
    base of the wall.
    214.1.2.3 Active Pressure due to Uniform Surcharge
    The active pressure against the wall due to a uniform surcharge of intensity q per unit area of the inclined

    (Paq)dyn = Cp 214.1.2(c)

    Point of application - The dynamic increment in active pressures due to uniform surcharge shall be applied at
    an elevation of 0.66 h above the base of the wall, while the static component shall be applied at mid-height of
    the wall.
    214.1.2.4 Passive Pressure due to Uniform Surcharge
    The passive pressure against the wall due to a uniform surcharge of intensity q per unit area of the inclined

    (Ppq)dyn = Cp 214.1.2(d)
