Abstract
Long before the analysis of Rankine the French scientist Coulomb presented a theory on limiting states of stress in soils (in 1776), which is still of great value. The theory enables to determine the stresses on a retaining wall for the cases of active and passive earth pressure. The method is based upon the assumption that the soil fails along straight slip planes.
