This course, Understanding the Soil Mechanics of Retaining Walls, provides an in-depth look at the soil mechanics behind retaining walls. It builds on the previous video of Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering, which provides a good introduction to the topic. The course covers topics such as earth pressure, earth-retaining structures, geotechnical analysis of foundations, and the leading cause of foundation failures. It also provides references to relevant literature, such as C. Clayton, R. Woods, A. Bond and J. Milititsky's Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures, D. P. Coduto, M.-c. R. Yeung and W. A. Kitch's Geotechnical Engineering Principles and Practices, and D. P. Coduto's Foundation Design: Principles and Practices. This course is essential for anyone looking to gain a better understanding of the soil mechanics of retaining walls.
