Passive earth pressure in sand on inclined walls with negative wall friction based on a statically admissible stress field
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4909-4258
The problem considered in this paper is the passive earth pressure determination under various rigid wall geometry with negative wall-soil friction. An exact solution based on statically admissible stress fields is employed to evaluate the impact of negative wall-soil friction and inclined walls on the design of retaining walls. A series of conservative solutions for the passive earth pressure coefficient in the presence of negative wall friction is obtained, shedding light on the load transfer mechanism of cohesionless backfill materials. While focusing on the passive earth pressure coefficient, the study further identifies the stress state transition zone in the backfill and the influence of wall inclination on passive earth pressure. In addition, the load transfer mechanism of cohesionless backfill material in a retaining wall is affected by various factors, including wall geometry, degree of negative wall friction, the direction of the major principal stress at the wall, and the position and orientation of the transition zone and line of stress discontinuity. It follows that comprehensive design charts involving various rigid wall geometry and negative wall-soil friction are provided for engineering practice. Overall, the study successfully characterizes the admissible stress field in the backfill of rigid retaining walls, contributing to the knowledge of retaining wall design under the effect of negative wall friction.
