Evolution Mechanisms of Lateral Earth Pressure against Rigid Retaining Structures Adjacent to Composite Foundations

Abstract

Abstract With the rapid development of urban underground space utilization, an increasing number of problems arise, requiring foundation pit–supporting projects to be constructed adjacent to existing buildings. The calculation method of lateral earth ... Practical Applications Although traditional earth pressure calculation methods are still widely used in practice and play an important role in retaining wall design, it was found that their earth pressure predictions are more conservative for excavation ...
