Use of double wedge equilibrium for reinforced earth structures design
Abstract
Application of the double wedge equilibrium method to Reinforced Earth is analysed together with the way safety coefficients or weighing factors should be taken into account. A comparison of the three most common design methods shows consistent results provided that the safety is correctly implemented and the type of structure is compatible with the domain of applicability of the method.
