Abstract: To further accurately analyze the mechanical response of buried pipelines and pavement structures subjected to ground subsidence, this study established a dual-beam model consisting of an upper Euler–Bernoulli beam and a ...

Abstract: A novel semianalytical method is proposed to estimate the earth pressure exerted on rigid retaining walls supporting a narrow granular backfill in this study, which is based on the assumption of a log-spiral failure surface. ...

Abstract: This study conducted model tests to simulate the passive failure of granular soils under different displacement modes, including the translational and rotation modes concerning different pivot points, to investigate the ...

Abstract: When a retaining wall is adjacent to a natural slope, the overturning of the wall is usually caused by a yielding foundation. At the point of overturning, the narrow backfill behind the wall has reached the active limit ...

Abstract: A series of model tests were conducted to simulate the active failure of narrow cohesionless backfills behind retaining walls rotating about the base (RB mode). The tests aimed to investigate the effect of wall displacement ...
