摘要
When Rankine or Coulomb theories to design of retaining wall are used, it is accepted beforehand that the retaining wall will experience a lateral displacement. This displacement is normally not calculated when a retaining wall is designed. This paper describes a method to estimate the lateral displacement of retaining walls. A practical example in the lateral displacement of a gravity retaining wall is presented.
