In this study, the influence of transient flow on the active and passive lateral earth pressures
of variably saturated backfills is thoroughly evaluated employing the lower bound theorems …

This paper aims at studying the active and passive earth pressures on the retaining
structures having an unsaturated backfill. To this end, the well-established lower bound limit …

The stability of excavation in unsaturated soil is closely related to the variation of soil
properties and matric suction. Determination of different failure modes and identifying the …

Assessing the effect of heavy precipitations on earthen structures warrants studying earth
pressure profiles in unsaturated soils under transient flow. This paper presents an analytical …

This paper proposes a generalized framework to estimate the seismic active earth thrust on
rigid retaining walls with unsaturated backfill. A novel suction stress-dependent approach …

This study focuses on the evaluation of stability for a typical unsaturated Soil Nailing Wall
System (SNWS), considering variations in soil shear strength, suction, and elasticity …

Semianalytical or analytical models for calculating active and passive earth pressure
coefficients for undrained soil–wall systems subjected to head rotation are rare. To fill this …

The bearing capacity of foundations constructed on unsaturated soils depends on the soil
saturation degree and thus the soil suction. This paper presents a simple limit equilibrium …

Estimation of the active earth pressure is a fundamental factor in the design of many
geotechnical engineering structures. In the current study, in order to investigate the earth …

This paper presents a unified semi-analytical solution to investigate the passive earth
resistance of unsaturated soils retained by a rigid wall in the framework of limit-equilibrium …
