The shaft is an essential structure in mining and tunnel engineering. In recent years, the
shaft lining is usually subject to deformation and damage with the increasing difficulty of …

Various methods used for calculating and measuring the earth pressure distribution on
cylindrical shafts constructed in sand are evaluated. Emphasis is placed on a comparison …

The distributions of lateral earth pressure behind rock-socketed circular diaphragm walls are
investigated. Two different motion mechanisms of the wall during excavation and their …

With the continuous progress of urbanization, excavation works near tunnel engineering
projects are increasing. The stress relief caused by the excavation inevitably affects the …

This study proposes a practical method for determining active earth pressure of confined
cohesionless soil. A trapezoidal thrust wedge model confined by two vertical rigid retaining …

Owing to the arching effect caused by stress transfer, the lateral pressure of confined
granular material will be influenced by both the wall movement and the confined material …

When a retaining wall is adjacent to a natural slope, the overturning of the wall is usually
caused by a yielding foundation. At the point of overturning, the narrow backfill behind the …

The distribution of lateral earth pressure acting on underwater rock-socketed circular
diaphragm walls was investigated using theoretical analyses. Emphasis was placed on the …

The slip-line method is commonly used to solve the limit earth pressure on retaining walls,
but to date there are still a number of problems that have not yet been solved. Based on limit …

A 3D numerical implementation of the limit analysis upper bound theorem is used to
determine active horizontal earth pressure coefficients. Results of the ratio between the 3D …
