I found a 2014 thread addressing this issue but it is now closed.

For a recent design of a non-yielding (at-rest) wall.....
For At-Rest Earth Pressure (level).... Ko = 1 - sin(phi) ---- Jaky, 1944
For At-Rest Seismic Earth Pressure.... Koe = 2*kh (where kh = 1/2 PGA-M) ---- Wood (1973); Whitman (1991); Al Atik and Sitar (2010)
For At-Rest Earth Pressure (sloping).... Ko = (1 - sin(phi))/(1 + sin(beta)) ---- Kezdi 1972
For At-Rest Static and Seismic with sloping backfill... K and Koe = ~2*M-O (Mononobe-Okabe for active earth pressure) ---- Wood (1973); Whitman (1991); Al Atik and Sitar (2010)
I would like to know whether triangular or trapezoidal or a combination two should be used for these values.
Thanks,
