Influence of backfill soil shear strength parameters on retaining walls stability

Abstract: One of the problem of geotechnical engineering is the analysis of the retaining walls stability, where are several uncertainty sources. Some of these uncertainties relate to the inherent variability of fill soil, retained by the retaining wall, strength parameters. This feature can be quan...
