Study on the Influence of Active Earth Pressure Caused by the Ditch behind Retaining Wall

Abstract:

To study the influence of active earth pressure caused by the ditch after retaining wall, we will treat the ditch as unloading, and use the resolve of uniformly distributed load on half-infinite plane boundary to get the calculation method to get the influence of active earth pressure caused by the ditch after retaining wall. At last, from an example, we will get the picture of active earth pressure caused by the ditch after retaining wall, and analysis the regular pattern and characteristics.
