  1. Session 11 – 12 LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE Course : S0484/Foundation Engineering Year : 2007 Version : 1/0

  2. LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE Topic: • General • Active earth pressure • Rankine earth pressure • Coulomb earth pressure • Lateral earth pressure due to surcharge • Passive earth pressure • Rankine earth pressure • Coulomb earth pressure • Influence of ground water table

  3. GENERAL • Lateral earth pressure represents pressures that are “to the side” (horizontal) rather than vertical. • Caused by soil self weight and or external load • 3 categories: • At rest earth pressure • Active earth pressure • Passive earth pressure

  4. AT REST EARTH PRESSURE The at rest pressure develops when the wall experiences no lateral movement. This typically occurs when the wall is restrained from movement such as a basement wall that is supported at the bottom by a slab and at the top by a floor framing system prior to placing soil backfill against the wall.

  5. ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE The active pressure develops when the wall is free to move outward such as a typical retaining wall and the soil mass stretches sufficiently to mobilize its shear strength.

  6. PASSIVE EARTH PRESSURE If the wall moves into the soil, then the soil mass is compressed sufficiently to mobilize its shear strength and the passive pressure develops.

  7. AT REST EARTH PRESSURE q Jaky, Broker and Ireland  Ko = M – sin ’ Sand, normally consolidated clay  M = 1 Clay with OCR > 2  M = 0.95 v =  . z + q Broker and Ireland z Ko = 0.40 + 0.007 PI , 0  PI  40 Ko = 0.64 + 0.001 PI , 40  PI  80 v h Sherif and Ishibashi  Ko =  +  (OCR – 1) •  = 0.54 + 0.00444 (LL – 20) • = 0.09 + 0.00111 (LL – 20) LL > 110%   = 1.0 ;  = 0.19 At rest, K = Ko

  9. ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE RANKINE ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE 1 = 3 . tan2 (45+/2)+2c.tan (45+/2) a = v . tan2(45-/2) – 2c . tan (45-/2) a = v . Ka – 2cKa Ka = tan2 (45 - /2)

  10. ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE Note : z = 0  v = 0 ; a = -2cKa z = H  v = H The tensile stress decreases with depth and becomes zero at a depth z = zc or zcKa – 2cKa = 0 and zc = depth of tensile crack

  11. ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE RANKINE ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE FOR INCLINED BACKFILL (for granular soil, c = 0) For c- soil

  12. ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE COULOMB ACTIVE EARTH PRESSURE • Assumptions: • Fill material is granular soil • Friction of wall and fill material is considered • Soil failure shape is plane (BC1, BC2 …) Pa = ½ Ka .  . H2
