Comprehensive Example: Lateral Earth Pressure Design Step-by-Step | Geotechnical Practice

Описание: In this video, we present a realistic example of how to prepare the lateral earth pressure section of a geotechnical engineering report, including the effect of earthquake loading. You'll see how to calculate lateral loads, determine pressure coefficients, and clearly present the results as part of a professional design report.

You’ll learn:

How to calculate active (Kₐ), at-rest (K₀), and seismic active (Kae) pressure coefficients

How to compute seismic lateral pressure based on simplified seismic loading

How to organize results in table format for use in engineering documentation

How to integrate seismic analysis into standard lateral pressure design

This example bridges theory and practice — ideal for engineers, students, and exam candidates working on retaining wall design in seismic areas.
