Lateral Earth Pressure Coefficient in Rock
Lateral Earth Pressure Coefficient in Rock
(OP)
Hello Geotechs,
Can we use Jacky's and Rankine formula to calculate the at-rest and passive earth pressure coefficients in rock. If not which approach will be suitable to determine the later earth coefficients in rock.

Or do you mean the at coefficients of soil against the rock.
For all relative and practical purposes (solid) rock has no lateral coefficients.
Probably something like modulus of elasticity would be a better coefficient.
