Question

Describe about the general relationship between retaining wall movements and lateral pressures.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Lateral earth pressure:
Lateral earth pressure is expressed as the earth pressure under the fill of an embankment are moved to the foundation soil in the form of shear stress, that can be substantially decrease the bearing capacity of the footing (foundation), and because of this stability of embankment also affected.
