Thanks for the help.
Rankine was straighforward enough as you get a horizontal thrust. you then compute the areas and work out the lever. However coulomb gives me the area (i think) from its equation. So is it possible to just summate them? i.e. youre not really taking the combined effect into...
Thanks FixedEarth, that gives me confidence in what I have done.
I have one problem, in that I cant seem to integrate this into coulombs theory. Im trying to do a comparison between coulomb and rankine, showing how coulomb will give a slightly higher load, in that it takes into account wall...
Hi all,
New here and am wondering if someone can help me.
I am doing a comparison between Rankine and Coulomb theory for a retaining wall. I used a strip foundation a distance from the edge of the wall. I was able to do the analysis for Rankine but am having problems modelling the stress...
