Retaining Wall Pressure Calculator API
Calculate lateral earth pressure on a retaining wall using Rankine theory. Get the active, at-rest or passive coefficient, the pressure at the base, the total thrust per unit length, where it acts and the overturning moment — with optional backfill slope and surcharge, in metric or imperial units.
