Chapter 9 Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering 9.1 Lateral Earth Pressure The design of the retaining structure requires the determination of the magnitude and line of action of the lateral earth pressure. The magnitude of the lateral earth pressure depends upon a number of factors, such as the mode of movement of the wall, the flexibility of the wall, the properties of the soil, and the drainage conditions. For convenience, the retaining wall is assumed to be rigid and the soil structure interaction effect is neglected which arises due to the flexibility of the wall. 9.1.1 Categories
