Horizontal arching of earth pressures on retaining structures
The horizontal arching mechanism transfers horizontal earth pressures acting on a retaining wall panel to neighbouring elements via soil shear stresses. In this research, the horizontal arching mechanism and lateral deformations of fixed cantilever walls are investigated using centrifuge tests. A 30...
