Experimental studies of slide planes and horizontal stresses in multilayered backfill

Abstract

To date, engineering methods of the theory of the limit equilibrium of the soil backfill, taking into account the multilayeredness of the basis and the load on the surface, have not yet been developed. Any experimental data on the nature of the distribution of the slide planes in the case of multilayered backfill are absent. Any experimental studies of the distribution of horizontal pressure on supporting walls, which hold a multilayered basis, are effectively absent.
