| description | The earth pressure acting on soilbag-reinforced retaining structures subjected to surcharge loads under non-limited states is crucial for designing these structures. In this study, mode tests on soilbag-reinforced retaining walls were conducted to the earth pressure of the wall subjected to surcharge loads. The findings from these tests reveal a non-linear distribution of lateral earth pressure on the wall when subjected to surcharge loads in non-limited states, with an observed escalation in pressure corresponding to increased surcharge loads. Insights from the tests facilitated the development of a predictive method for estimating lateral pressure on soilbag-reinforced retaining walls under similar conditions, and its performance was fully validated by the model tests. Furthermore, the impact of the geometric dimensions and material properties of the soilbags on the earth pressure distribution was examined using the proposed method. |
