Research on active earth pressure of narrow cohesionless backfill against rigid walls considering the arching effect

Retaining walls are usually located next to existing structures. This runs counter to the traditional theoretical presumption of semi-infinite space, making it unsuitable to continue applying Coulomb’s theory. In order to design retaining walls with narrow backfill, improving the established theory...
