Methods, systems, and media for measuring stress and earth pressure behind retaining walls / piles under localized overload.
The additional vertical stress behind the retaining wall/pile was calculated by using the Equation 1-3 model, and the non-ultimate active earth pressure was measured by combining the Equation 2-3 model. This solved the problem of measuring stress and earth pressure of the retaining wall/pile under local overload, and achieved higher accuracy measurement and wider engineering applicability.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot effectively measure the additional vertical stress and earth pressure of retaining walls/piles under local overload, and fail to fully consider the coupling relationship between retaining walls/piles and earth pressure, especially under the influence of local overload in foundation pit engineering.
The distribution of additional vertical stress behind the retaining wall/pile is calculated using the Equation 1 model, and the non-ultimate active earth pressure is calculated using the Equation 2 and Equation 3 models. Considering the rotational displacement mode of the retaining wall/pile, different working conditions are divided, and a method for measuring the stress and earth pressure behind the retaining wall/pile under local overload is provided.
It enables accurate measurement of stress and earth pressure behind retaining walls/piles under local overload conditions, and can reasonably consider the rotation and displacement modes of retaining walls/piles, improving the accuracy of measurement and engineering applicability, and is suitable for various construction scenarios.
