A modified logarithmic spiral method for determining passive earth pressure

In this study, a modified logarithmic spiral method is proposed to determine the passive earth pressure and failure surface of cohesionless sloping backfill, with presence of wall–soil interface friction. The proposed method is based on a limit equilibrium analysis wherein the assumed profile of the...
