LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE

EarthRetainingStructures
Earth retaining structures are common in a manmade
environment.

These structures were amongst the first to be


analyzed using the concepts of mechanics.

One of the most popular earth retaining structure is


a retaining wall.

In this lecture, well learn the theory of earth


pressure that is used to analyze the stability of
retaining walls.

It will help you a great deal if you revised the


following important concepts:
- Static equilibrium, Effective Stress, Mohrs
Stress Circle and Shear Strength of Soils

EarthPressureCoefficients
The ratio of horizontal and vertical principal effective stresses is termed as
Coefficient of Earth pressure

Active earth pressure coefficient (Ka):


It is the ratio of horizontal and vertical principal effective stresses when
a retaining wall moves away (by a small amount) from the retained soil.
Passive earth pressure coefficient (Kp):
It is the ratio of horizontal and vertical principal effective stresses when
a retaining wall is forced against a soil mass.
Coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K0):
It is the ratio of horizontal and vertical principal effective stresses when
the retaining wall does not move at all, i.e. it is at rest.
