A rectangular cross section ("block") defined by the structure height, H, and
the reinforcement length, L;
• Application of vertical and horizontal forces to the block, creating eccentric
loading;
• A Meyerhof bearing pressure distribution at the base of the structure to
determine foundation reactions and the repeated use of Meyerhof to determine
the vertical earth pressure at each reinforcement level (Meyerhof, 1953);
• A state of stress decreasing from at rest (Ko) at the top of the structure to active
(Ka) at a depth of 6 m and more;
• The resulting tensile forces in the reinforcements, determined from the
horizontal earth pressure multiplied by the tributary area of the wall face
restrained by the reinforcement at that level;
• The bilinear envelope of maximum reinforcement tension that separates the
active from the resistive zone; and
• The inextensibility and high pullout resistance of the reinforcements which
maintain the internal stability of the block.
