Creating quality retaining walls 
Lateral earth pressure plays an important role in determining the design of retaining walls. Lateral pressure forms the largest pressure that retaining walls are required to handle and thus need to be considered appropriately. Various soil parameters are taken into consideration while determining earth pressure like soil unit weight, cohesion and plasticity indices, angle of internal friction and water table location. After these measurements are determined,
