Abstract: According to the equilibrium conditions of forces acting on a soil element, the problem for non-linear distribution of earth pressure of cohesive backfill is studied. Both magnitude and point of application of earth pressure show good agreement between the in situ measured results and those being computed by the formulae suggested in this paper.
