Abstract: This paper presents experimental data on the variation of lateral earth pressure against a nonyielding retaining wall due to soil filling and vibratory compaction. Air-dry Ottawa sand was placed in five lifts and each lift ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental data of earth pressure acting against a vertical rigid wall, which moved toward a mass of dry sand. The backfill had been placed in lifts to achieve relative densities of 38, 63, and 80%. ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental data of earth pressure acting against a vertical rigid wall, which moved into a mass of dry sand with a stress‐free horizontal surface under various wall‐movement modes. To investigate the ...
