3. Calculating the thrust and stop coefficients of a heavy soil
The calculation of the thrust and abutment coefficients of a heavy soil is based on several theories that take into account the characteristics of the soil itself. These coefficients are essential in the dimensioning of retaining structures, such as retaining walls, to ensure their stability, taking into account the forces exerted by the soil.
3.1 Determining effective stresses
The thrust and stop coefficients are directly related to the effective stresses exerted by the soil particles. Effective stress is the difference between the total stress ...
