Lateral Support
In geotechnical engineering, it is often necessary to prevent lateral soil movements.

Lateral Support
We have to estimate the lateral soil pressures acting on these structures, to be able to design them.

Crib Wall
Crib walls have been used in Queensland.
Interlocking stretchers

filled with soil
Good drainage & allow plant growth.

Earth Pressure at Rest
GL
In a homogeneous natural soil deposit,
Xσh’σv’
the ratio σh’/σv’ is a constant known as coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K0).
Importantly, at K0 state, there are no lateral strains.

As the wall moves away from the soil,
Initially, there is no lateral movement.
