Abstract

Knowledge of passive resistance is extremely important and it is the basic data required for the design of geotechnical structures like the retaining wall moving towards the backfill, the foundations, the anchors etc. An attempt is made to develop a formulation for the evolution of seismic passive resistance of a retaining wall supporting c-F backfill using pseudo-static method. Considering a planar rupture surface, the formulation is developed in such a way so that a single critical wedge surface is generated. The variation of seismic passive earth pressure coefficient are studied for wide range of variation of parameters like angle of internal friction, angle of wall friction, cohesion, adhesion, surcharge, unit weight of the backfill material, height and seismic coefficients.
