  • Learn about type of earth pressure and their variation
  • Determination of earth pressure forces on retaining structures
  • Solve practice numerical that would help you to apply the learnings in field
  • Difference between active and passive states of soil

Course content

4 sections8 lectures1h 49m total length
  • Introduction11:16

    Explore lateral earth pressure, including active, passive, and earth pressure at rest on retaining walls, and how the coefficient of earth pressure relates to horizontal and vertical stresses.

Requirements

  • Basic terms related to soil mechanics is required.

Description

This course is taught by Mr. Vishal Bhatt who did his engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Roorkee) that was established in 1847 and the oldest and most prestigious institute for Civil Engineering in Asia. He has been into teaching field from last 10 years and have guided more than 30,000 in offline institutes across the country. He taught students from various countries in the past 4 years of span of online teaching and have grown a community of about 50,000 students on youtube.

This course on basics of earth pressure will make you understand why earth pressure acts and what are the  different states of soil depending upon earth pressure and how you can determine the value of earth pressure force that will be helpful in designing any retaining structure.

This course is completely taught in English language along with some numerical examples to boost your confidence not only in academics but also in the practical field.

In this course you are going to study about Rankine's earth pressure theory for cohesionless soil and also its application to cohesive soil.

This course is beneficial to all civil engineers because every structure or construction is done on the earth surface and definitely we should understand the impact of lateral earth pressure before designing any structure as a civil engineer.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for those who are working professionals in construction field or students of Civil Engineering. This course will not only cover academics syllabus but also will help you to learn the practical aspects of earth pressure.
