Cooper E-80 Live Load - flexible wall system
(OP)
Is there any reduction to the Boussinesq pressure distribution for flexible wall systems?
I know review rail engineers are pretty 'finicky' so I tempted to not even bother but these are small segmental walls which may end up with large grid lengths. But that may be the case. Attached is a section if interested.
It looks like the line of influence both walls once grid is installed. So I may just design for the full loading. Thoughts?

I have seen the Ka * vertical Boussinesq pressure before.
PEinc- any idea what CivilTech uses for semi-flexible or flexible reductions?

Civiltech uses the Teng equation for strip load = Rigid - (2*q/pi*(b-sinb*cos2a))
Semi flexible = 0.75 * Rigid
Flexible = 0.5* Rigid
