Computation and Analysis of Allowable Bearing Capacity of Foundation for Retaining Wall of Embankment in Soft Soil Area

For embankment built in soft soil area inadequate allowable bearing capacity of retaining wall foundation will cause shear failure in foundation soil,thus leading to failure or rotational slide of earth_rock mass of embankment.Based on analizing the condition and method for computing the foundation allowable bearing capacity under unsymmetric load for both sides of retaining wall,approximate computation formula is obtained and engineering measures preventing the earth_rock mass of embankment from sliding are put forward.
