Analyze two cases of lateral earth pressure such as the lateral earth pressure at rest for the first one whereas the second case will be the analysis of active earth pressure.

For each case, determine the following:

- Coefficients of lateral earth pressure

- Calculate stresses acting on the wall and draw their diagrams.

- Determine the pressure acting on the wall per unit length

- Find the location of the resultant force

- For the case of active pressure calculate the depth of the tensile crack and

- Estimate the Rankine active force per unit length before the occurrence of the tensile crack and after the occurrence of the tensile crack.
