Formula for calculating self-supporting height by Rankin-LeZard: P = (γH + Q) × tan²(45° - φ/2) - 2C tan(45° - φ/2)
Let P represent the lateral earth pressure. Since the self-supporting height of the ground reaches equilibrium when P = 0, it can be calculated using the following modified equation:
Hc = 2 × C / γ × tan(45° + φ/2) × Q / γ
Hc = Maximum excavation depth for direct excavation (m), C = Cohesion of the undisturbed soil (kN/m²), unit weight of the ground (kN/m³), Q = overburden load (kN/m²), γ = unit weight of the ground (kN/m³), φ = angle of internal friction of the ground (degrees)

According to the Industrial Safety and Health Act, when excavating natural ground with a vertical depth of 1.5 meters or more, “as a general rule, soil retention and shoring structures must be installed.”
When performing excavation work on natural ground where the height of the excavation face is 2 meters or more, the supervisor must inspect equipment and tools, determine work methods, and direct operations on-site to prevent workplace accidents.
