Balance　weight　retaining　wall　is　widely　used　in　slope　engineering,　but　its　rotation　around　the　heel　is　not　studied　at　present.　In　this　paper,　the　finite　element　limit　analysis　method　is　used　to　study　the　sliding　failure　mode　of　the　finite　width　fill　in　the　rotation　displacement　mode　around　the　heel　of　the　wall.　The　results　show　that　the　first　failure　surface　is　formed　at　the　bottom　of　the　wall,　and　the　second　and　third　failure　surfaces　are　formed　at　the　end　of　the　balance　table.　According　to　its　failure　model,　the　formula　of　active　earth　pressure　of　balance　weight　retaining　wall　in　rotation　displace-ment　mode　around　the　heel　is　derived　based　on　oblique　differential　element　method.　Through　the　parameter　analysis,　the　effects　of　filling　width-depth　ratio,　rock　dip　Angle,　friction　Angle　and　weight　platform　width　on　the　active　earth　pressure　distribution,　active　earth　pressure　resultant　force　and　its　application　point　are　obtained.　The　research　results　can　provide　theoretical　guidance　for　practical　engineering　and　have　certain　theoretical　significance　and　practical　value.　©　2024　Institution　of　Structural　Engineers
