What is it about?

The solution is based on well-established method of stress characteristics. It can be directly used by field engineers to predict static and seismic earth pressure on retaining walls with broken-back/bi-linear backface.

Why is it important?

It is very simple, handy and provided with detailed derivations for reproducing results. Our theory discusses both active and passive conditions along with complex wall geometry.
