This video explains how to calculate the active pressure (0:10) and passive (7:40) pressure in cohesive soil mass using the Rankine active and passive pressure theory. The active earth pressure tends to decrease with the increase of the soil cohesion, while the passive earth pressure increases with the increase of the soil cohesion. #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering #soilmechanics #engineeringgeology
