Displacement control is critical to the design of retaining walls, especially in urban areas, avoid any potential damage adjacent structures during excavations. In this study, model tests are first conducted investigate stress and deformation mechanisms an embedded cantilevered (ECR) wall The development top displacement active passive earth pressures acting on ECR walls excavations studied. Up...

Calculation of lateral earth pressure on retaining walls is one of the main issues in geotechnics. The upper and lower bound theorems of plasticity are used to analyze the stability of geotechnical structures include bearing capacity of foundations, lateral earth pressure on retaining walls and factor of safety of slopes. In this paper formulation of finite element limit analysis is introduced ...
