This document provides information on calculating earth pressures for a tunnel drive, including location details, ground levels, soil strata densities and elevations, vertical pressure, pore water pressure, and soil type at the tunnel face. It lists the coefficients for calculating active, earth pressure at rest, and passive earth pressures based on the soil's friction angle, and shows the calculated values for active, earth pressure at rest, and passive earth pressures at the tunnel center in bars.
