Abstract
Earth pressure on a vertical wall in a sliding mass changes al ong the sliding surface, and it changes also time to time . An active or passive failure will take place along a slidi ngsurface inthe sliding soil mass. The auther pointed out that this idea might be helpful for designing countermeasures by remov ing a part of soil mass or drainage . The ground surface is extended, and extension cracks are observed in the active pressure region . The ground surface is compressed and swell up in the passive region. Wh ena part of soil mass is removed, the area is extended from the activepressureregion to theinter mediate region, and should not be extended to the passive pressure region.
