...David Perozzi; Alexander M. Puzrin Determining earth pressure-induced moments in the active limit state is critical for the safety assessment of retaining structures. While traditional design methods assume a Coulomb's resultant force acting at one-third of the wall height, the literature suggests...

...Fengwen Lai; Ningning Zhang; Songyu Liu; Dayu Yang Active earth pressure on retaining structures supporting a narrow column of soil cannot be properly analysed using Coulomb's theory. Finite-element limit analysis (FELA) shows that the soil forms multiple failure surfaces if the soil column...

The embedment depth of cantilevered and single-propped (or anchored) soldier piles is usually determined through limit equilibrium calculations. Active earth pressures are considered to act above the excavation level and are treated as a loading...

... of a landslide, the existing classical earth pressure and landslide pressure solutions are not capable of describing the loads adequately. In this paper it is shown that accumulated loads acting on a building eventually lead first to a local limit state with failure in the vicinity of the building, followed...

... of an approximately rigid rotation around a point located close to the wall base, it is assumed that active and passive pressures are fully mobilised up to a certain depth from the excavation level. Below this depth, a simplified distribution of earth pressure is considered, with values that are not predetermined...

...B. Friedli; D. Hauswirth; A. M.
