Abstract

An attempt has been made to measure soil forces experimentally on a deep cutting blade at various inclinations of the interface and different direction of translation at several embedment depths. This experimental measurements are commensurable with the soil forces predicted based on theoretical models proposed by Albuquerque and Sarker at Newcastle. Soil forces predicted based on these models are carefully computed and compared with the experimental values and the theory is underpredicted.
