Abstract

Conditions favorable to the development, and characteristic features of the accounting of the “reverse” direction of surface-friction forces at the contact between a retaining wall and soil medium with determination of the latter's lateral pressure are indicated. Basic computational relationships are presented for steep and inclined walls, and also the results of the mathematical modeling of the “structure/soil-medium” system with variation of the latter's computational parameters are presented. A general computational algorithm, which takes into account any direction of contact-friction forces, and a program that runs the algorithm on a computer, as well as tables of the range of combinations of initial parameters, including parameters that account for seismic effects, are developed.
