Two Factors

The earth pressure behind inclined wall considering the soil arching effects which was decided by two factors, the coefficient and average vertical stress, was necessary to research. Based on the analysis of stress state behind the retaining wall, the unified solution of active pressure and passive pressure was derived and was used to calculate both the magnitude and point of application. According to examples, as the angle of inclined retaining wall increasing which was signifying by , the arching effects would be also increasing which the soil was in the passive limit and be falling which the soil was in the active limit.

Active Pressure

This paper analyzes the application of the theorem of corresponding states or the correspondence rule, as found in a number of advanced soil mechanics textbooks, and shows that it results in approximate solutions to limit-state problems. The limitations of the rule are made apparent by applying it to the determination of active pressures exerted on vertical retaining walls by cohesive–frictional backfills with inclined ground surfaces. A correct derivation of the correspondence rule is obtained for this case. An example is given that illustrates the inadequacy of this rule when boundary conditions are not properly accounted for in the analysis.Key words: theorem of corresponding states, active pressure, vertical retaining wall, inclined ground surface, cohesive–frictional backfill.
