Rankine’s Theory
Assumptions
The lateral earth pressure coefficients
are valid for;
Vertical earth retaining wall
Smooth wall in which the interface between the
wall and soil is frictionless
The supported soil is homogeneous and isotropic
The soil is loose and originally in an at-rest state
Lateral earth pressures must be applied to
effective stress
Critical slip planes are oriented at 45o ± f’/2

Coulomb’s Earth Pressure Theory
(Cont.)
BC is a trial failure surface and the probable failure wedge is ABC
Forces acting: W - effective weight of the soil wedge; F – resultant
of the shear and normal force on the surface of failure BC; Pa –
active force per unit length
Angle of friction between soil and wall is δ’
The force triangle for wedge is shown in figure b
