Soil Arching Behind Retaining Walls under Active Translation Mode: Review and New Insights [PDF]
International Journal of Mining and Geo-Engineering, 2018 Granular materials have a tendency to exhibit an arching effect by which the load is transferred from yielding parts to adjacent stationary parts.

Analysis of CMC-Supported Embankments Considering Soil Arching [PDF]
, 2016 © ASCE. In this paper, the behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced controlled modulus column-supported embankments is studied for different distributions of loadings induced by arching on the load transfer platform (LTP).

Analysis of Earth Pressure Variation for Partial Displacement of Retaining Wall
Applied Sciences, 2021 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.

A study on soil arching effect of anti-slide pile considering different pile arrangements
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 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.

Fully-Mobilized Soil Arching versus Partially-Mobilized Soil Arching
DEStech Transactions on Engineering and Technology Research, 2017 Soil arching is a phenomenon describing stress re-distribution due to relative movement between adjoining portions. It commonly exists when soil interacts with infrastructure, for example, tunnels, retaining walls, buried structures, and pilesupported earth structures.

Numerical investigation into the failure of a micropile retaining wall [PDF]
, 2017 The paper presents a numerical investigation on the failure of a micropile wall that collapsed while excavating the adjacent ground. The main objectives are: to estimate the strength parameters of the ground; to perform a sensitivity analysis on the back

Numerical analysis of piled embankments on soft soils [PDF]
, 2014 The construction of embankments on soft soils is a common problem. Soft soil cannot sustain external loads without having large deformations. Piled embankments system provides a possible solution for the construction of roads and railways over soft soils.
