Limiting pressure on rows of strip plates and the “no-force-through” effect

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of the theory of limiting equilibrium relative to the pressure of an infinite periodic series of strip plates on a weightless cohesive bed is examined. The “no-force-through” effect is exposed when the distances between plates are less then a certain critical value. A formula for determination of the limiting pressure and critical gap is proposed as a result of the processing of numerical calculations. Applications of this problem to actual geomechanical problems such as anti-slide pile bracings are discussed.
