Abstract: Passive earth pressures in earth berms against rigid retaining walls in dry sands are modeled in this paper. The passive earth pressures are developed by rotating the retaining wall about a point below the wall base. The earth pressure distributions and the effect of the earth berm width on the magnitude of the earth pressures are studied. The measured earth pressures are compared with the predicted values based on the Multiple Coulomb Wedge Method proposed by Daly M. P. and Powrie W. (2001). It is suggested that the measured passive earth pressures are close to the predicted values and the points of resultant forces are higher than those of the predicted values. Therefore, the Multiple Coulomb Wedge Method can be safely used to predict passive earth pressures on sandy soils in practical applications.
