Prediction of lateral swelling pressure behind retaining structure with expansive soil as backfill

TL;DR: In this article, a model is proposed to estimate the lateral earth pressure (LEP) considering the variation in LSP behind fixed rigid retaining structures with respect to the matric suction during the infiltration process.

A Framework for Interpreting Lateral Swelling Pressure in Unsaturated Expansive Soils

TL;DR: In this article, a flowchart is developed to highlight various key factors that influence the lateral swelling pressure (LSP) mobilization according to lab and field studies collected from previous literature studies, and a theoretical framework is proposed for illustrating the LSP mobilization in the field against retaining structures and pile foundations under different boundary conditions, respectively.

A Semi-Empirical Approach for Estimating the Lateral Earth Pressure on Rigid Retaining Walls with EPS Inclusions in Cohesionless Soils

TL;DR: In this paper , a semi-empirical approach to predict the lateral earth pressure on rigid retaining walls with expanded polystyrene (EPS) inclusions in cohesionless soils is presented.
