Coulomb's wedge theory assumes that
back fill is dry, cohesionless, homogeneous and isotropic
slip surface is the plane which passes through the heel of the wall
sliding wedge itself acts as a rigid body and the value of earth pressure is obtained by considering the limiting equilibrium of the wedge
position and direction of the resultant earth pressure, are known
all the above.
