Rankine theory, also known as Rankine's method or Rankine's stability theory, is a concept in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering that focuses on the behavior of soil under lateral earth pressures. Named after the British engineer William John Macquorn Rankine, the theory provides a simplified approach to calculate the earth pressure acting on retaining walls, excavations, and earth structures.
