the difference for the surcharge load of 1 feet area or 100 feet area behind the retaining wall
the difference for the surcharge load of 1 feet area or 100 feet area behind the retaining wall
(OP)
There is 1 feet of distributed surcharge load 300psf, or there is 100 feet of distributed surcharge load 300psf right behind the retaining wall, what's the difference of the soil pressure due to the surcharge load? say wall retaining height 6'.
I can only figure they are the same with calculation, but I know they are not.

I think the additional soil pressure due to 1 feet surcharge is 100 times smaller than that of 100 feet, but it's not.
