Table 1

The features of the sample wall in the analyses with the effect of line surcharge.

Wall height (, m)10 m
Linear surcharge (, kN/m)0–500 kN/m
Soil density (, kN/m3)20  kN/m3
Friction angle between wall and backfill soil (δ, degrees)0°–°
Internal angle of soil friction (, degrees)20°–40°
Distance of surcharge from the wall (, m)0–20 m
