Passive earth pressure - the Rankin and Mazindrani theory
Passive earth pressure follows from the following formula:
| where: | σz | - | vertical geostatic stress |
| Kp | - | coefficient of passive earth pressure due to Rankin | |
| β | - | slope inclination | |
| γ | - | weight of soil | |
| z | - | assumed depth | |
|
- | coefficient of passive earth pressure due to Mazindrani |
The coefficient of passive earth pressure Kp is given by:
| where: | β | - | slope inclination |
| φ | - | angle of internal friction of soil | |
| c | - | cohesion of soil |
If there is no friction (δ = 0) between the structure and cohesionless soils (c = 0), the ground surface is horizontal (β = 0) and the resulting slip surafce is also plane with the slope:
,
the Mazindrani theory then reduces to the Rankin theory. The coefficient of passive earth pressure is then provided by:
| where: | φ | - | angle of internal friction of soil |
Passive earth pressure σp by Rankin for cohesionless soils is given:
| where: | γ | - | unit weight of soil |
| z | - | assumed depth | |
| Kp | - | coefficient of passive earth pressure due to Rankin |
