Large-Scale Passive Earth Pressure Load-Displacement Tests and Numerical Simulation

Shake table lateral earth pressure testing with dense c-ϕ backfill

“…In addition, it is of relevance to note that the dynamic testing studies reported herein complement an existing set of experimental data concerned with passive earth pressure load-displacement behavior [40,42] In the following sections, details of the experimental setup are presented. Related results from earlier laboratory shear strength tests and full scale passive earth pressure load-displacement experiments conducted using the same backfill soil are briefly highlighted (all recorded data, static and dynamic, is available for public access and use at https://nees.org/warehouse/experiment/ 553/project/33).…”

A closed-form solution for seismic passive earth pressure behind a retaining wall supporting cohesive–frictional backfill

“…To evaluate the validity of the present method, the results are compared with those observed in two past passive earth pressure tests (Test 1 and Test 2) conducted by Wilson and Elgamal [17], as given in Table 1. Test 1 has the following conditions: k h = k v = 0, i = b = 0, c w = 0, q 0 = 0, H = 1.68 m, d = 2.3°, c = 11.5 kPa, u = 51°, and c = 19.30 kN/m 3 .…”
