DETERMINATION OF EARTH PRESSURE DISTRIBUTIONS FOR LARGE-SCALE RETENTION STRUCTURES J. David Rogers, , , geological Engineering University of Missouri-Rolla DETERMINATION OF EARTH PRESSURE DISTRIBUTIONS FOR LARGE-SCALE RETENTION STRUCTURES IntroductionVarious EARTH PRESSURE theories assume that soils are homogeneous, isotropic and horizontally inclined. These assumptions lead to hydrostatic or triangular PRESSURE distributions when calculating the lateral EARTH pressures being exerted against a vertical plane. Field measurements on deep retained excavations have shown that the average EARTH PRESSURE load is approximately uniform with depth with small reductions at the top and bottom of the excavation.
