Seismic passive earth pressure against the retaining wall of structural loess based on plane strain unified strength formula
Based on triaxial shear tests of structural cube loess samples with different water contents
residual strength effect and relationships between structural indexes and strength parameters are studied
based on which the uniform strength formula for plane strain is corrected. Variations of Mohr circle of soil stress behind the wall under the seismic conditions are analysed. By using the method of level layer element
calculating seismic passive earth pressure of loess filler considering intermediate principal stress
structure and residual strength effects is established. The results indicate that cohesions and friction angles calculated by unified strength theory increase with unified strength parameter b. The structure of loess has a huge influence on cohesion while the effect of friction angles is not obvious. The total seismic passive earth pressure coefficient increases with the increase of b value and structural index
while it decreases with the increase of horizontal seismic coefficient. The residual strength makes a more contribution to seismic passive earth pressure coefficient for large structure than for small structure.
