This example problem simulates soil behavior under active and passive earth-pressure loadings. The problem shows how the nonlinear plastic behavior of soil can be modeled with a Mohr-Coulomb material. This example is simulated using the Ansys Mechanical Application. To see this example solved with Ansys Mechanical APDL see Active and Passive Lateral Earth Pressure Analysis in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems.

The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
