Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: An analytical solution procedure is described to estimate the developed passive lateral earth pressures behind a vertical rigid retaining wall rotating about its toe or top into a mass of cohesionless soil. Various stages of wall rotation, from an at-rest state to an initial passive state to a full passive state, are considered in the analysis. A condition of failure defined by a modified Mohr-Coulomb criterion and equilibrium conditions are used to obtain the necessary equations for solution. The development of friction along the wall surface at various stages of wall rotation is also taken into account in the analysis. Finally, the results predicted by the developed method of analysis are compared with those obtained from the experimental model tests on loose and dense sand. The comparisons show good agreements at various stages of wall movement.
