To improve the accuracy of methods for analyzing retaining structures, a model test study was conducted to simulate the process of excavation in sand. The displacements and moments of the rowed piles in corresponding excavation stages were measured and analyzed. The method for analyzing three dimensional behaviour of retaining structures based on additional earth pressure theory showed accuracy better that form the methods based on traditional three-dimensional elastic reaction method based on total earth pressure theories. The applicability and validity of the additional earth pressure theory was discussed and verified.
