Retaining walls in axi-symmetric conditions and plane strains have been widely treated the literature using different approaches (limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip line, numerical techniques by finite elements or differences). The element difference method provides more accurate solutions to problem than equilibrium method. In this paper, a new model of retaining wall axi-symmetry under o...

Abstract Determination of earth pressures is one the fundamental tasks in geotechnical engineering. Although many different methods have been utilized to present passive pressure coefficients, influence non-associated plasticity on problem has not discussed intensively. In this study, finite-element limit analysis and displacement are applied for frictional materials. Results compared with sele...
