KB 001968 | Embedded Double-Chamber Container Under Buoyancy
Display of the determination of the change in earth pressure acting on the container due to groundwater.
(Left: Load distribution over depth - p(γ) earth pressure from weight-moist, p(γsat) earth pressure with weight-saturated from groundwater level, p(γreal) actual distribution (weight-saturated under buoyancy from groundwater level);
Center: Change in load distribution over depth - Δp(γsat-γ) saturation from groundwater level, Δp(γA) - buoyancy from groundwater level, Δp(γreal-γ) - load to be applied for change in earth pressure from dry state to state with groundwater present;
Right: Model from view in x-direction with applied load for earth pressure change (Δp(γreal-γ))
