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 |
