Arch with Various Wall Movements in Active Earth Pressure Abstract

Abstract:

For the retaining wall in translation, in this paper the writers present the minor principal stresses trajectory which named minor principal stress arches. By discussing the results of the various arch curves in arching effect with different displacements of retaining wall which include the arch curves in ultimate model of soil and the arch curves in none limit state of soil. It gets the soil arch curve change rule under different state of the displacements, different friction angles and different height: the arch curve turn gentle when the displacements increase.
