An Alternative Approach To Determine Static and Seismic Passive Pressure

Posted on
 

 Introduction The current state of practice  adopts Rankine/Coulomb theory to estimate static passive pressure and Mononobe-Okabe (M-O) method to determine seismic passive pressure. As you know, each of these approaches were formulated based on some assumptions that may not apply to all of our daily engineering problems. For instance, the M-O method was originally developed… Read More
