[0002] With the rapid development of infrastructure construction, the construction of new structures adjacent to existing structures is increasing, leading to the frequent occurrence of limited width fill behind retaining walls. In the case of limited width fill, the soil is subjected to the combined action of the constraints of the two side boundaries and the friction of the wall-soil interface, and its failure mode and stress state are different from the traditional semi-infinite soil theory. Existing research shows that when the width of the fill behind the wall is insufficient, the soil is significantly affected by the boundary constraints and friction of the two side interfaces during deformation and failure, resulting in a significantly different development trend of the failure sliding surface and soil pressure than the case of "semi-infinite" fill behind the wall.
