Optimum height of the retaining gravity wall

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Many failure cases of retaining walls caused by some factors, which are soil condition, planning design that did not meet the safety requirements, and the lack of knowledge or indecisiveness towards the selection of the retaining walls type for a specified height.

Reliability and Sensitivity Analysis of Gravity Retaining Wall Stability: Investigating the Effect of Construction Defects [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering
The safety evaluation of retaining structures, especially in cases of potential instability or disaster, frequently depends on empirical methods that apply overall safety factors. In this article, an innovative approach employing probabilistic methods to

Performances and Working Mechanisms of Inclined Retaining Structures for Deep Excavations

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Because of the limits of struts, braceless retaining structures (BRS) have become a preferred option in deep excavation engineering. A type of BRS, that is, inclined retaining system, has been successfully applied in several projects.

Research on key influencing factors of scrap tire-soil retaining wall

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
The emergence of STSW can reduce the amount of materials such as sand and gravel and improve its performance compared to conventional retaining walls. In order to investigate the key influencing factors of STSW, the compression modulus of Scrap tire-soil

Dynamic behavior of gravity segmental retaining walls

Pollack Periodica, 2023
AbstractThis work aims to highlight gravity segmental retaining walls with their varied advantages. The paper investigates the dynamic behavior analysis of segmental retaining walls. The stability analysis is conducted on the basis of a pseudo-static Mononobe-Okabe theory that provides safety factors against sliding and overturning failure. The results

Seismic design of gravity retaining walls

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1979
Starting from the Mononobe-Okabe analysis, the seismic behaviour of gravity retaining walls is investigated. The importance of including wall inertia effects is demonstrated. The sensitivity of the results to changes in various parameters is explored: care must be taken in some ranges.

Seismic displacement of gravity retaining walls [PDF]

HBRC Journal, 2015
AbstractSeismic displacement of gravity walls had been studied using conventional static methods for controlled displacement design. In this study plain strain numerical analysis is performed using Plaxis dynamic program where prescribed displacement is applied at the bottom boundary of the soil to simulate the applied seismic load.
