Solution for Active and Passive Earth Pressure on Rigid Retaining Walls with Narrow Backfill

For a retaining wall adjacent to rock or rigid structures, existing model test results indicate that the slip soil in the limit state can be approximated as a trapezoidal slip wedge. Based on the static equilibrium condition of the slip wedge, a calculation method for active and passive earth pressu...
