Popis: The problem of active and passive earth pressure acting on a rigid retaining wall has been studied ever since Coulomb formulated the limit equilibrium solutions in 1776. It has long been recognized that such solutions greatly overestimate the passive pressure. With the development of the plasticity theory, many problems have been solved by much more logical methods such as the slip line method and limit analysis.
