Mobilisation of soil
Mobilisation of soil
(OP)
Soil at rest has a lateral factor of k(o) associated with it. How much movement (or soil strain) of a retaining wall is required to change the factor to k(a), assuming that the soil is granular. Or are there other factors to take into account?

See the NAVFAC books - I believe DM 7.2 has guidance on retaining wall displacements to mobilize active earth pressures.
