Study on the distributive rule of the earth pressure and its coefficient of the reinforced earth wall

By analyzing the earth pressure of the large model test of the reinforced wall,the coefficient of earth pressure can be classified as the coefficient of pressure induced by selfweight and the coefficient of pressure induced by surcharge.The former varies linearly between coefficient of active earth pressure at the top and coefficient of earth pressure at rest at the bottom of wall,and the latter varies with the superimposed load.The coefficient of earth pressure changes accordantly with the value of the earth pressure.
