Abstract
This paper firstly reviews the theory of Earth Pressure, Describes the formation of earth pressure theory, Classification and calculation methods Etc. Second, proposed the effective consolidation stress method , a brief description of its, and aerivation of the effective consolidation stress formula for earth pressure method. Finally Respectively use the effective consolidation stress method and Rankine-bell formula (including soil points and soil economic) calculates Earth pressure of Multi-Fill Retaining Wall, and compared the results compared. The results show that: Under the same conditions, respectively use these three methods,the total lataral pressure is Rankine-bell formula (soil economic) is largest, Rankine-bell formula (soil points) is secondly, the effective method of consolidation stress is the last.
