How to calculate the PASSIVE PRESSURE?
Dear ASDIP Customer: The calculation of the passive pressure is very important in the design of retaining walls to prevent sliding problems. However, this calculation may be affected by some external factors that can be overlooked easily. Are you calculating the passive pressure correctly? I have prepared a new blog post with a short video, where I discuss the calculation of the passive pressure and the factors that may affect the end result. Y ou are invited to read this blog post and watch the video. Retaining Walls: Are You Calculating the Passive Pressure Correctly? Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
