In this article we will discuss how by using Poncelet’s graphical solutions we can determine active and passive earth pressure. Poncelet (or Rebhan’s) Construction for Active Earth Pressure: Poncelet and Rebhan have independently given graphical solutions for determination of active earth pressure. The procedure for determination of active earth pressure in Rebhan’s or Poncelet graphical […]
