Three-Dimensional Theoretical Model for Soil Arching with Inclined Slip Surfaces

Terzaghi proposed two-dimensional (2D) arching theory through trapdoor tests based on the assumption of a vertical slip surfaces. However, the original 2D assumption is different from a real three-dimensional (3D) excavation condition and actual slip surfaces caused by the downward movement of a tra...
