Why passive earth pressure is greater than active earth pressure?
The passive earth pressure occurs when when a wall or plane moves towards earth. This will create additional pressure where as in the case of active pressure wall moves away from earth and it will reduce the pressure on the wall. From the co-efficient of active earthpressure and passive earthpressure,i.e Ka = 1-sin( phi)/1+sin( phi) Kp = 1+sin( phi)/1-sin( phi where phi is the angle of internal friction of soil.
