Tie rod Anchor Sheet pile Lateral Support In geotechnical engineering, it is often necessary to prevent lateral soil movements. Braced excavation Anchored sheet pile Cantilever retaining wall dr. isamjardaneh / foundation engineering 61303 / 2010
Lateral Support We have to estimate the lateral soil pressures acting on these structures, to be able to design them. Soil nailing Gravity Retaining wall Reinforced earth wall dr. isam jardaneh / foundation engineering 61303 / 2010

Lateral Support Reinforced earth walls are increasingly becoming popular. dr. isam jardaneh / foundation engineering 61303 / 2010
The proper design of those structures requires an estimation of lateral earth pressure. Lateral earth pressure is a function of several factors, such as: The type and amount of wall movement The shear strength parameters of the soil The unit weight of the soil The drainage conditions in the backfill dr. isam jardaneh / foundation engineering 61303 / 2010

William John MacquornRankine 1820 – 1872 Scottish civil engineer, physicist and mathematician. He was a founding contributor to the science of thermodynamics, particularly focusing on the first of the three thermodynamic laws. Rankine developed a complete theory of the steam engine and indeed of all heat engines. He was an enthusiastic amateur singer, pianist and cellist who composed his own humorous songs. He was born in Edinburgh and died in Glasgow, a bachelor. Rankine's theory, developed in 1857
Assumptions No friction between the backfill soil and retaining wall. Angle of friction(δ) = 0 Retaining wall is vertical Surface of backfill is horizontal
