Lower-Bound Limit Analysis of Seismic Passive Earth Pressure on Rigid Walls
Static and seismic passive earth pressure coefficients for the general case of an inclined wall and a sloping cohesionless backfill were computed by using finite-element lower-bound limit analysis based on second-order cone programming (SOCP). The comparison with the best existing upper-bound solution and the widely accepted solution obtained by the method of stress characteristics has shown that the present lower-bound solutions can provide a safe estimate of the passive earth pressures. Therefore, combining present results and upper-bound solutions can bracket the true value of passive earth pressures. In addition, design tables are presented that allow geotechnical engineers to easily use the present results in practice.
