Three-Dimensional Theoretical Model for Soil Arching with Inclined Slip Surfaces
Terzaghi proposed two-dimensional (2D) arching theory through trapdoor tests based on the assumption of a vertical slip surfaces. However, the original 2D assumption is different from a real three-dimensional (3D) excavation condition and actual slip ...

Analysis of Earth Pressure Variation for Partial Displacement of Retaining Wall
Parts of the retaining wall might produce displacement under different load conditions. The moveable wall could impact the adjacent fixed wall, mainly reflecting on the variation of earth pressure and formation of the soil arching effect.

Sharing of hand kinematic synergies across subjects in daily living activities [PDF]
The motor system is hypothesised to use kinematic synergies to simplify hand control. Recent studies suggest that there is a large set of synergies, sparse in degrees of freedom, shared across subjects, so that each subject performs each action with a ...

A study on soil arching effect of anti-slide pile considering different pile arrangements
Among the methods of landslide treatment, anti-slide piles are an effective measure. The soil arching effect cannot be ignored in the design of anti-slide piles, which has a significant impact on the supporting.
