Rankine Active and Passive Pressures acting on a Wall: Example and Solution
The lateral earth pressure on retaining walls depends on the vertical effective stress through two coefficients: the active earth pressure coefficient (Ka) and the passive earth pressure coefficient (Kp). The Rankine theory deals with such cases, and this video explains how to apply the Rankine coefficients in a real-life case. The example is given for cohesionless soil (no cohesion) and when the active and passive pressure coefficients depend on the soil's friction angle. It is assumed that we deal with a smooth, vertical wall that supports a homogeneous soil mass with a horizontal surface. #education #engineering #geotechnicalengineering
