DISCUSSION ON WATER AND EARTH PRESSURE OF SUPPORTING STRUCTURE IN SOFT AREA
水及土压力的实测研究

The tendency of active earth stress and pore water stress during excavation is explained through the analysis of measured active earth stress, pore water and water level. In soft area(such as Shanghai), the water pressure and earth pressure can either be calculated separately or mergedly. The method is presented to determine the coefficient of earth pressure when water pressure and earth pressure are calculated mergedly. The earth pressure and water pressure should be multiplied with different coefficients when earth pressure and water pressure are calculated separately, and a method is given to determine the two different coefficients.
