Passive Earth Pressure and Soil Arch Shape: A Two-Dimensional Analysis

This paper introduces an analytical method for passive earth pressure calculation based on a rigorous stress field analysis within the sliding wedge. Unlike traditional horizontal layer methods, this approach directly solves for the stress state at any point within the wedge by analyzing the equilib...
