For active case;
Ka =tan^2(45-π/2)
And for the passive case,
it is Kp=tan^2(45+π/2).
Ka =tan^2(45-π/2)
And for the passive case,
it is Kp=tan^2(45+π/2).

Earth pressure at rest proportional to =(1-sinθ).
Active earth pressure proportional to = cotθ (45°+ φ/2) or tanθ (45°- φ/2).
Passive earth pressure proportional to = tanθ (45°+ φ/2).
Active earth pressure proportional to = cotθ (45°+ φ/2) or tanθ (45°- φ/2).
Passive earth pressure proportional to = tanθ (45°+ φ/2).

The Right answer is tan^2(45π/2).
For Active earth pressure: tan^2(45+π/2).
Earth pressure at rest :( 1-sinθ).
For Active earth pressure: tan^2(45+π/2).
Earth pressure at rest :( 1-sinθ).

Tan2 (45-π/2) is the right answer.

It is asking about proposal, not for equal.

It shoud be tan2 (45+q/2).

Isn't it tan2 (45°+ φ/2)?
