Question

In retaining walls, what happen when lateral soil pressure exceeds the weight of the wall (its slab + its heel)?
Hint: the wall cross section is ideal with toe and shear key.
wall overtunes
wall slides
wall develops excessive bearing oressure

Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction:-

The Lateral soil pressure is the pressure in horizontal direction by soil. It is exerted on retaining walls as active earth pressure , passive earth pressure and earth pressure at rest. Retaining walls are used to retain soil mass.
