(2) For retaining walls which can move forward sufficiently to mobilise active condition in
the fill, K = Ky. For unyielding rigid structures, K = Ky. For walls supporting a fill
slope, it may be assumed thatthe compaction-induced earth pressure is the same as that
given by the diagram in (c) above for a horizontal final surface, except 2: should be
taken a5 2270.
() For dead weight rollers, the effective line load is the weight of the roller divided by its
roll width, and for vibratory rollers it should be calculated using an equivaleat weight
‘equal to the dead weight of the roller plus the centrifugal force generated by the roller’s
vibrating mechanism. The centrifugal force may be taken to be equal to the dead weight
of the roller in the absence of trade data
(4) The compuction-induced earth pressure’ assumed in the design should be clearly stated on
the drawings.
