Coefficient of earth pressure at rest is given by:(μ - Poisson's Ratio)

(1 - μ) / μ μ / (1 + μ) (1 + μ) / μ μ / (1 - μ)

Concept:

Coefficient of Active Earth Pressure Coefficient:

$K_{a} = \frac{1 - \sin ? (?)}{1 + \sin ? (?)} = \tan^{2} (45 - \frac{?}{2})$

Coefficient of Passive Earth Pressure Coefficient:

$K_{p} = \frac{1 + \sin ? (?)}{1 - \sin ? (?)} = \tan^{2} (45 + \frac{?}{2})$

Coefficient of Earth Pressure at rest:

$k_{r} = \frac{μ}{1 - μ}$

Where,

μ is the coefficient is the Poisson ratio.
