To resist such geological hazards, retaining walls the most common geological structure that has been used. There are major three well known theories of Rankine, Coulomb, Culman that computes earth pressure behind retaining wall. But even after designing retaining wall with conventional method it fail to perform its objective leading to massive destruction of loss of money. The correct estimation of the earth pressure is the important step in the design of the retaining wall. Number of conventional theories are available for the estimation of earth pressure behind retaining wall. Retaining wall with cohesion less backfill soil is typically designed on the active lateral earth pressure distribution due to tendency of outward movement of the wall. In this work, Retaining wall model is designed to determine active earth pressure. Laboratory tests were conducted on retaining wall model with 5 mm thick MS plate which act as retaining wall with cohesion less backfill (sand) and deflection of retaining wall was measured by using LVDT at various levels. The model tests provide values of deflection of retaining wall. Once earth pressure is determined from the deflection, analysis can be done. After comparison, the theoretical active earth pressure is 42% higher than the experimental active earth pressure.</p>
