Analysis of passive earth thrust in an unsaturated sandy soil using discontinuity layout optimization
This paper addresses a numerical study into passive earth pressure in an unsaturated sandy soil. The computational limit analysis method, discontinuity layout optimization (DLO), is extended to take into consideration the effect of saturation and suction on strength. The extended analysis was utilis...
