    The document calculates static and dynamic active earth pressures on a retaining wall. It provides parameters like the wall height, soil density, friction angles, and seismic coefficients. It then uses Coulomb and Mononobe-Okabe theories to calculate: I. A static active earth pressure of 51.5 kN/m. II. A dynamic active earth pressure of 117 kN/m under the Mononobe-Okabe theory. III. An equivalent pressure of 170 kN/m by combining the static and dynamic pressures.
