Abstract: Considering the variation of friction angle on wall surface and sliding surface under non-limit state or limit state, the horizontal-stratum analytical method is improved. By using variant friction angle of each stratum, equations of calculating the unit active earth pressure, the resultant active earth pressure and the points of application on retaining wall are induced. It is demonstrated that the calculating results using this method have a good agreement with those using other methods and experimental observations.

Key words: retaining wall, active earth pressure, variation of friction angle, stratum-by-stratum calculation method
