NOTE: There is a bit of noise due to the echo in the room. I request you to king use your earphone and listen to it carefully. This is not a part of the regular curriculum and is kept under the bonus section.

The Lecture will provide an insight into Earth Pressure Theories. The voice-over is not included in the video as it is self-reading material processed in the form of video.
