What is Soil Pressure?

Soil pressure is also known as the earth pressure. Pressure is defined as external load applied on the body causing a stress, which is measured in terms of force per unit area. Similarly, the soil pressure is expressed as the forced applied by a soil mass (backfill) over the retaining wall, in the lateral direction throughout its depth.

How to Calculate Maximum Soil Pressure?

Maximum Soil Pressure calculator uses Maximum Soil Pressure=(2*Axial Loading)/(3*Length of Footing *((Width of the Footing/2)-Eccentricity of Loading)) to calculate the Maximum Soil Pressure, The Maximum Soil Pressure formula is defined as the net-loading intensity which is considered the ultimate bearing-capacity based on the quantity, settlement expected and the capability of a structure to bear this settlement. Maximum Soil Pressure and is denoted by q _m symbol.
