lateral pressure dist.
(OP)
Any references for limiting values of lateral pressure for high retaining walls. possibly triangular dist. transitioning to uniform loading to base of wall. Wall height 26 to 30 feet.

RE: lateral pressure dist.
I have seen the same triangular distribution to a specific depth, then uniform below applied in soldier pile and tieback walls, plus soil nailed wall design, all in specific soils reports by a licensed Geotech.
So, the answer is there is no general rule, but can happen in specific circumstances as identified in Geotechnical reports.
