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: Inverted T-type retaining walls are widely used in civil engineering. Classic earth pressure theories cannot accurately predict the failure mechanism of soils behind inverted T-type retaining walls. Under wall translation ...

Abstract: It is well known that there are multiple sliding surfaces behind inverted T-type retaining walls and that reflective sliding surfaces may develop in narrow backfill. Combined with numerical analysis, this paper establishes ...

Abstract: In engineering constructions, the backfill behind retaining walls is usually narrow, and its boundary conditions are asymmetric due to the space limitation. When the retaining wall rotates about the bottom, the direction ...
