Lateral Earth pressure of unyielding wall with slope backfill
Lateral Earth pressure of unyielding wall with slope backfill
(OP)
Earth pressure coefficient of unyielding wall with flat backfill is simply assumed as 1-sin(fi), but I don't know what I should use if the backfill is slope?

I used this approach in graduate school and it was well received by Prof. Duncan for an assignment involving at rest earth pressure on a sloping backfill. I have no other reference, except that's what I've done for the last 20 years. No broken walls yet!
