Experimental and Numerical Study of At-Rest Lateral Earth Pressure of Overconsolidated Sand

The paper presents a one-meter-height rigid facing panel, supported rigidly at the top and bottom to simulate nonyielding retaining wall system. A set of load cells is used to measure the horizontal force at the top and bottom of the facing panel, which is converted to equivalent horizontal earth pr...
