Discussion of “Analytical solution for passive earth pressure of c-φ soil using principal stress rotation assumption”

چکیده مقاله

The prediction of horizontal passive earth pressure applying on rigid retaining walls is an important subject in geotechnical design. The main aim of Ghaffari Irdmoosa and Shahir (2019) was to present a new analytical methodology for obtaining the passive earth pressure against a rigid retaining wall undergoing translation mode considering the arching effect. Also, the magnitude and height of lateral passive earth pressure are derived. The authors proposed a new theoretical approach
