Three‐dimensional finite element analysis has been carried out in order to study the
response of retaining walls subjected to lateral earth pressure using ABAQUS/CAE. This …

Backfilling is a common practice in the mining industry and the backfilling performance plays
a significant role in supporting the surrounding rock mass. To evaluate the backfilling …

The conventional pseudo-dynamic (CPD) and modified pseudo-dynamic (MPD) methods
are invoked to obtain the seismic bearing capacity of strip foundations using the limit …

A new approach is suggested to determine the active earth pressure on retaining walls with
reinforced and unreinforced cohesive-frictional backfill based on the horizontal slices …

This paper adopts a three-dimensional (3D) rotational failure mechanism to calculate the
static and seismic active earth pressure acting on rigid retaining walls within the framework …

Many geotechnical engineering problems require the calculation of active earth pressure
behind retaining walls subject to the effect of a surcharge acting on the backfill. This study …

In this paper, the seismic active resistance of a slanted cantilever retaining wall holding a
cohesionless backfill is computed using the method of stress characteristics in association …

In the area of high seismic intensity, there were few methods for calculating active earth
pressure (E a). Especially for the cantilever retaining wall with long relief shelf (CRW-LRS) …

This paper presents a simplified mathematical formulation for a set of closed-form solutions
to compute static and seismic active and passive earth pressure on a retaining wall with …

In this paper, the normal stress distribution function along the failure surface in soil obeying
general nonlinear failure criterion is first derived, and then a method for calculating the static …
