Analysis of passive earth pressure due to various wall movement by particle flow code (2D)
The passive earth pressure of rigid wall due to various wall movement was simulated by particle flow code(PFC)2D
which is based on DEM. PFC2D model for this problem was founded by the laboratory model test. The rigid wall translated toward the soils
or rotated about its own top or bottom。Then the horizontal and vertical stresses along the back of the wall were measured. These results were compared with that of the model tests; and it is shown that the PFC2D can simulate the distribution of the earth pressure along the back of the rigid wall conveniently and satisfactorily.
