active earth pressure induced by strip loads on a backfill
presented is a method of two-dimensional analysis of the active earth pressure due to simultaneous effect of both soil weight and surcharge of strip foundation. the study’s aim is to provide a rigorous solution to the problem in the framework of upper-bound theorem of limit analysis method in order to produce some design charts for calculating the lateral active earth pressure of backfill when ...
متن کاملExtension of Mononobe-Okabe Theory to Evaluate Seismic Active Earth Pressure Supporting c-φ Backfill
An effort is made to evaluate the formulation of seismic active earth pressure behind a nonvertical retaining wall supporting c-Ф backfill. The formulation is prepared to get a single critical wedge surface for simultaneous action of weight, surcharge, cohesion and adhesion. The success of any retaining structure involves the awareness of seismic active earth pressure. The effect of various par...
متن کاملSeismic Active Earth Pressure of Narrow Geosynthetic-Reinforced Backfill on Rigid Facing
In the narrow geosynthetic-reinforced retaining walls a stable rear wall exists in a short distance and so there is no enough space to extend appropriate length of reinforcements. In this case, the probability of overturning of retaining wall increases especially when subjected to earthquake loading. To increase the stability of the wall, reinforcements may be connected to the stable rear surfa...
متن کاملDistribution of lateral active earth pressure on a rigid retaining wall under various motion modes
The design of retaining walls depends on the magnitude of active pressure exerted from the backfill. Therefore, estimating the scale of this pressure is a fundamental factor in the design. In this study, to assess the active earth pressure, a rigid retaining wall was built capable of translating and/or rotating with adjustable speed. Further, several physical tests were conducte...
متن کاملEvaluation of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Horizontal Slice Method and Log-spiral Failure Surface
Evaluation of active earth pressure in seismic condition is one of the important problems of geotechnical earthquake engineering. In this study the static and seismic active earth pressure exerted by a homogeneous backfill behind a rigid retaining wall is evaluated using Horizontal Slice Method (HSM). Both cohesionless and cohesive soils are considered using c- soil in the formulation. The fai...
