Arching is characterized by a stress distribution where the load is transferred from softer to stiffer regions of a structure forming a stable configuration. Since it is a stable arrangement, arching is not a typical limit state problem. However, it can be formulated in a manner that allows using the static theorem of limit analysis to assess the ...

It is shown theoretically that the arch describing the minor principal stress in the soil behind a retaining wall can be approximated by a catenary which is very close to circular in the range of interest.

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1985
Soil arching action or “bin effect” is usually quantified by use of a horizontal differential element whose support derives in part from Rankine theory. In the 1940's, Krynine mathematically proved this incorrect. The present analysis substitutes a catenary arch describing the path of the minor principal stress, which thus is complementary to a ...

Soil arching in unsaturated soil with different water table
Granular Matter, 2018Soil arching above support structures with different water tables may be different. A series of trapdoor tests are carried out to research the effect of water table on soil arch. Displacement of sands and soil pressure on trap door is obtained from test results and the influence of grain size and trap door width have also been considered in the model ...

Study on pile-soil relationship based on soil arching model
2011 International Conference on Remote Sensing, Environment and Transportation Engineering, 2011A soil arching theory and a model was put up for the thrust's transfer mechanism and the part acting on the presstressed anti-sliding pile can be computed. Aiming at the existing problems in the method for computing anti-sliding pile with prestressed anchoring cable, an improved method is proposed in this paper.

Degradation of soil arching caused by suffusion in gap-graded soils
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2023To investigate evolution of soil arching during suffusion in gap-graded soils, a new suffusion apparatus was developed for trapdoor tests under a horizontal seepage flow. Glass beads with fine-grain contents ranging from 15% to 45% were adopted to represent coarse-grain controlled soils and fine-grain controlled soils.

Abstract The development of the soil arching theory has undergone numerous refinements based on technical advances through laboratory and field investigations, variations based on specific applications and the introduction of new technologies. During development, some aspects of the theory are sometimes overlooked as new ideas are presented.

Analysis of Arching in Soil-Passive State
Indian Geotechnical Journal, 2012Arching involves stress transfer from yielding part of a soil to unyielding part of soil. Many authors considered arching action for active earth pressure. In this paper arching action is considered for passive earth pressure in noncohesive backfill. The backfill is assumed to move upward in a form of catenary arch due to arching.

Investigation of Soil Arching with Centrifuge Tests
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2014AbstractThe classic experiment of a yielding trapdoor in (two-dimensional) plane strain beneath a granular mass is revisited, this time in the high-gravity environment of a geotechnical centrifuge. High-speed acquisition of load and displacement data makes it possible to examine the arching behavior of geomaterials. Results indicate the formation above

Evolution of soil arching; 2D DEM simulations
Computers and Geotechnics, 2016Abstract A series of model tests were performed using a 2D multiple trapdoor system, similar to a 2D unreinforced piled embankment. Three soil arching evolution patterns were observed in the tests: the triangular expanding pattern, the tower-shaped evolution pattern, and the equal settlement pattern.
