Framework of Estimation of the Lateral Earth Pressure on Retaining Structures with Expansive and Non-expansive Soils as Backfill Material Considering the Influence of Environmental Factors

Lateral earth pressures (LEP) that arise due to backfill on retaining structures are typically determined by extending the principles of saturated soil mechanics. However, there is evidence in the literature to highlight the LEP on retaining structures due to the influence of soil backfill in satura...
