Lateral Earth Pressure and Retaining Wall Design (2 credit hours/2 HSW Hours)
This 2 hour webinar will discuss the forces that act on a retaining wall and how to resist those forces through the design of the retaining wall.  The forces acting on the retaining wall to be discussed in this webinar are the earth pressure, hydrostatic pressure, and surface surcharge pressures.  Resistance to sliding, overturning, and bearing failures will be analyzed.  Upon completion of this webinar, the attendee will know the difference between Coulomb and Rankine earth pressure theories and be able to analyze the sliding, overturning and bearing capacity factors of safety for a retaining wall.
Bill Simpson, PE
The student will learn the following:
  • Defining "the wall".
  • Identifying forces on a retaining wall.
  • How to account for and resist soil pressure.
  • How water pressure impacts a retaining wall.
  • The properties of the soil that contribute to the wall design.
