You may commonly here this as a Boussinesq analysis or a Boussinesq as modified by Terzaghi or Tang. Which method to use? What is the line of influence? Is the wall flexible or rigid? Well in this segment we will cover the analysis of surcharge loads on retaining walls using elastic methods. Offset surcharges are always up for some debate.

We will try to straighten some of this out and present some of the different approaches and how most of the equations are similar but the equations are presented slightly differently. Trying to wrap you head around all the different equations and who did what can be confusing.
This reasoning is disputed by Bowles.1954 Terzaghi – suggests 0.4*H (wall height) is a critical distance behind the wall where two different equations should be used for point loads and line loads. He explains that the 2x factor could be due to the rigid wall producing a mirror load effect. Bowles points out some flaws of this experiment – loose soils with a wall of ‘finite’ length and ‘old’ technology used in the load cells.1936 Mindlin – Discusses the results of Spangler. Spangler used Boussinesq’s equation with u=0.5 and found that the actual lateral pressure was approx 2x the pressure found by equation 1 with u=0.5. Strengthen your foundations with the Python Programming Foundation Course and learn.The basis of the elastic methods discussed below is Boussinesq’s equation for a surcharge on a semi infinite massMost of this is from Bowles 4th Edition Foundation Analysis and Design.1936 Spangler – Performed experiments to measure the lateral pressure on a wall due to point loads form a truck behind a rigid retaining wall. However most of the theories assume a Poisson’s ratio (u) of 0.5 which simplifies the analysis, but more on this latter.However, we will explore it for analyzing the seismic time series.

This observation would mean soil state and Poisson’s ratio are significant. Also gravelly backfill’s produced larger lateral pressures than finer-grained soils. Teng 1962).1972 – Rehnman and Broms showed that when the soil behind the wall was dense the lateral pressure from point loads was much less than with loose soils. Some also credit Teng the strip load equation shown below as a plastic’solution as opposed to the Boussinesq solution which is an elastic solution (See Civiltech Software Design Manual and Foundation Design by Wayne C.
Then you solve for the resultant force and it elevation. Then you solve for the height above the bottom of the wall to this segment (yi = height to force, Fi). Then the force is found by multiplying the height of this segment by the pressure (Fi=force at elevation ‘i’ = sigmah * hseg). Therefore it is suggested that a program or spreadsheet is made that uses these equations to find pressures at set intervals or segments of the wall (sigmah).
We can superimpose the results of the elastic method results on to the soil pressure as would be found using Rankine or Coulomb equations (see here for refresher). So if we are specifically looking at when to apply elastic methods the answer would be – anytime. There are many different ways that an offset surcharge maybe handled see here for a more indepth look. Zone of InfluenceSecond the when – This is a much more difficult question to answer. This pressure/force is then superimposed on the soil pressure. This is similar to finding the centroid of an area by parts.
While a 2V:1H has been found accurate at short depths (See Bowles 3rd Edition p172) and is usually conservative when finding vertical stress at a certain depth but can be unconservation when finding horizontal stresses. Sometimes a 2V: 1H is used as in a Meyerhoff or Boussinesq bearing pressure distribution. Edward White has suggested that pressures may distribute down at 1V:1H (See Foundation Engineering Handbook by Hans F. Usually this information is given in the governing code. Some examples – many use the Rankine or Coulomb failure plane as the determining distance however a trial wedge may give different results when finding the failure plane angle. This may be overly conservative however it is up to the engineer to determine what distance beyond the wall that the surcharge would have no affect on the retaining wall.
The equations assume rigid walls (pressures maybe less for flexible walls, Civiltech Software recommends 0.5 for flexible, 0.75 for semi-flexible and 1.0 for rigid – see further discussion), a Poisson’s ratio of 0.5, and the pressure maybe combined by method of superposition. There are links to other posts which will give further discussion, examples and spreadsheet calculations. Elastic Method EquationsBelow are the ‘typical’ equations used in most design manuals for using elastic methods. The NCMA recognizes a 2H:1V as a conservative estimate to find the horizontal distance to which you may disregard surcharge loads.
