It would be useful to see calculation of the angle of force applied to the wall more clearly demonstrated.

A pretty good introductory course for lateral earth pressure on retaining walls. I am just not a fan of the symbols they use, it is not normally what textbooks and other information sources use.
Robert Kirkbright |
Good summary of retaining wall considerations.
Janine Schreyack |
I think that this course gives you a very general overview of the subject. It is limited to certain soil types and the examples are generic. It does, however, provide enough insight to provide the general principles of the design.
Jeffrey Harvey |
Relatively simple yet informative short course.
Victor Smith |
Basic course that covers the material well.
Rich Block |
Great overview presentation.
Ryan Hause |
This is a good concise course and reminder for basic retaining wall design.
William Cunningham |
good presentation on Rankine and Coulomb methods
Andrew Habel |
Good general overview of the Rankine and Coulomb methods. It would have been helpful to have additional discussion on calculating surcharge loading, earthquake loading, and water pressure loading rather than just acknowledging that these forces are design considerations.
