LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE
-
EARTH PRESSURE TYPES
At-rest (Po & Ko)
Active (Pa & Ka)
Passive (Pp & Kp)
-
At-Rest Pressure
The retaining wall is not
allowed to move away or toward the retained soil.
-
At-Rest Pressure
The retaining wall is not
allowed to move away or toward the retained soil.
-
Active Earth Pressure
The retaining wall is
allowed to move away from the retained soil.
-
Active Earth Pressure
The retaining wall is
allowed to move away from the retained soil.
-
Active Earth Pressure (Rankine Theory) The retaining wall is
allowed to move away from the retained soil.
-
Active Earth Pressure The retaining wall is
allowed to move away from the retained soil.
-
Passive Earth Pressure The retaining wall is
allowed to move away
from the retained soil.
-
Passive Earth Pressure
The retaining wall is
allowed to move towards the retained soil.
-
Passive Earth Pressure (Rankine Theory)
The retaining wall is
allowed to move towards the retained soil.
-
Passive Earth Pressure
The retaining wall is
allowed to move towards
the retained soil.

ACTIVE AND PASSIVE PRESSURES
Change is nonlinear
Small movement is needed to produce full active condition
Large movement is needed to produce full passive condition
-
Coulombs Active Pressure
Coulomb theory accounts for three factors that were not
accounted for in the original Rankine theory:
The wallsoil interface friction Sloping backfill soil Inclination of the retaining wall
