4.5 Simplified calculation method for basement walls subject to lateral earth
pressure
(1) The following simplified method may be used for designing basement walls subject to lateral
earth pressure providing the following conditions are fulfilled:
the clear height of the basement wall, h 2,6 m, and the wall thickness, t 200 mm;
the floor over the basement acts as a diaphragm and is capable of withstanding the forces
resulting from the soil pressure;
the characteristic imposed load on the ground surface in the area of influence of the soil
pressure on the basement wall does not exceed 5 kN/m and no concentrated load within 1,5 m
of the wall exceeds 15 kN, see figure 4.8;
the ground surface does not rise away from the wall and the depth of fill does not exceed the
wall height;
there is no hydrostatic pressure acting on the wall;
either no slip plane is created, for example by a damp proof course or measures are taken to
resist the shear force.
NOTE For the verification of the shear action due to earth pressure a coefficient of friction of 0,6 has been used.

(2) The design of the wall may be derived on the basis of the following expressions, as appropriate:
NEd,max

t b fd
3

e b h he2
NEd,min
t

(4.11)

(4.12)

where:
NEd,max is the design value of the vertical load on the wall giving the most severe effect at the
mid-height of the fill;
NEd,min is the design value of the the vertical load on the wall giving the least severe effect at
the mid-height of the fill;
b

is the width of the wall;

bc

is the distance apart of cross walls or other buttressing elements;

is the clear height of the basement wall;

he

is the height of the wall under ground level;

is the wall thickness;

21

EN 1996-3:2006 (E)

is the weight per cubic metre of the soil;

fd

is the design compressive strength of the masonry;

is 20 when bc 2h,
is 60 - 20 bc / h when h < bc < 2h,
is 40 when bc h.

(b) The characteristic imposed load on the ground 5 kN/m.

4.6 Simplified calculation method for the design of walls subjected to limited lateral
load but no vertical loads
(1) A simplified calculation method for determining the minimum thickness and limiting
dimensions of internal walls, not subjected to vertical loads other than self-weight, but having
variable conditions of lateral restraint, conditional on certain restrictions, is given in Annex B for
walls with a limited lateral load.

4.7 Simplified calculation method for the design of walls subjected to uniform lateral
load but no vertical loads
(1) Walls subjected to uniform lateral loads may be designed by a simplified method.
NOTE A simplified calculation method for determining the minimum thickness and limiting dimensions of walls
having variable conditions of lateral restraint and not subject to vertical loads other than self-weight is given in Annex
C for walls subject to a uniform lateral design load.
