The invention discloses a method for calculating soil pressure of limited soil. The method comprises the following steps: determining profile parameters of a foundation pit profile and limited soil, setting the included angle between a fracture plane of the limited soil and the horizontal direction, performing force analysis on a fractured slide body, obtaining the weight of the fractured slide body, establishing an equation set by utilizing known parameters according to static balance conditions in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, substituting an expression of soil pressure of the limited soil, deriving a shearing damage angle for soil pressure of the limited soil, enabling a derivative equation to be zero, obtaining a shearing damage angle value, reversely substituting the shearing damage angle value into the expression of soil pressure of limited soil, calculating a numerical value, namely soil pressure, generated on a surrounding structure, of every linear meter of limited soil. According to the method disclosed by the invention, values of beta angles are different, different limited soil boundary conditions are contained, stress characteristics of limited soil are sufficiently taken into consideration, and a fracture plane direction angle of limited soil is derived, so that active pressure, which conforms to reality, of limited soil is calculated, and therefore, the method has a very good popularization application value.
