Given the abundance and importance of earth retention structures, the problem of seismic
earth pressure has attracted not only the research community but also industry and …

There is currently a lack of an available design approach to estimate the earth pressure in
narrow backfills behind retaining walls rotated about the top (RT). The considerations of …

Ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is a key subject in geotechnical/foundation engineering as
it determines the limit of loads imposed on the foundation. The most reliable means of …

This paper investigates the active earth pressure of inverted T-type retaining walls under
rotational mode using a slip-line method for the typical failure mechanism simulated with …

A novel semianalytical method is proposed to estimate the earth pressure exerted on rigid
retaining walls supporting a narrow granular backfill in this study, which is based on the …

This paper presents a Bayesian inversion approach to identify earth pressures on in-service
underground structures based on structural deformations. Ill-conditioning and non …

Ascertaining failure mechanism is a prerequisite of the derivation for earth pressure against
retaining structures. Retaining structures constructed adjacent to existing structures and …

Currently, knowledge of the failure mechanisms of narrow backfills with retaining walls
rotating about the top (RT mode) is still lacking which leads to inaccurate estimations of the …

The present study proposes a new approach to solve passive earth pressure problems
using the method of slices, coupled with the limit equilibrium (LE) technique. Unlike existing …

Retaining wall construction often encounters narrow cohesive backfill and the traditional
theories are no longer suitable. Hence, analytical solutions for active earth pressure of …
