Abstract

In this paper, a generalized solution for the critical soil wedge angle under seismic passive earth pressure condition on the retaining wall is presented with plane failure surface using pseudo-static method. The development of an explicit expression for the critical soil wedge angle is presented in this paper using analytical method. The effects of different parameters like height of wall, slope of backfill, inclination of the back of wall, adhesion between the wall back face and soil backfill, properties of the backfill, and seismic coefficients on the critical soil wedge angle on the chosen wall are studied. The results from this method are compared with standard theoretical methods and show encouraging agreement.
