Abstract
In considering the possible development of horizontal strain in a reinforced soil wall, it should be noted that in certain cases the soil strains may be simply related to the movement of the wall facing. Bransby and Milligan (1975) and Milligan (1983) have shown that the strains behind a retaining wall are related to the movements of the wall as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Comparisons with the results of model and full scale tests have confirmed that the analysis works well for outward translation and rotation of the wall about its base. For outward bulging, or rotation of the wall about its top, the simple analysis breaks down and the strain field becomes more complex.
