What is Active vs Passive Earth Pressure Explained about?
The document outlines three types of lateral earth pressure: Active, Passive, and Earth Pressure at Rest. Active earth pressure occurs when a retaining wall moves away from backfill, leading to a reduction in lateral pressure, while Passive earth pressure occurs when the wall moves towards the backfill, increasing lateral pressure. Both types are critical for the design of retaining walls, which must account for these pressures in their structural integrity.
