Abstract: Installing geofoam inclusions between the rigid retaining wall and backfill can reduce the earth pressure against the retaining wall. However, there is currently a lack of research on the earth-pressure reduction effect ...

Abstract: A combined retaining structure (CRS) that consists of numerous piles, a concrete platform, and a gravity retaining wall was built to support a high embankment constructed on a steep slope. In this study, the behavior of ...

Abstract: Rock faces prevent adequate calculation of the active earth pressure of retaining wall near rock faces via the Coulomb and Rankine theories. The research is based on differential slice method and soil arching; it proposes ...
