Lateral Earth Pressures from a rock cut slope on a retaining wall
Lateral Earth Pressures from a rock cut slope on a retaining wall
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
I have a unique situation where I am building a house by cutting into a hillside for my building pad. The backside will be a near vertical cut in rock and there are two retaining walls that will be almost stacked on top of each other. See image.
How do I determine the lateral earth pressures including seismic in this scenario?
Thanks

Any idea there?

Thank you very much for your response. What about the little amount of granular backfill required behind the wall for drainage purposes?
