The discrepancy went undiscovered until the 1940s when Terzaghi noted an inconsistency relative to failures of cellular cofferdams. The error then was addressed by Krynine, but no attempt was made to make design adjustments until development of a soil arching theory for retaining walls in the 1980s. The error is simply stated:
