Dynamic Stiffness and Damping of Rigid Retaining Wall under Seismic Loading [PDF]
Tikrit Journal of Engineering SciencesDynamic stiffness and damping of the soil under the base of the foundation of the retaining wall and the backfill soil behind it play the main role in estimating vibrating displacement during seismic loading.

Earth pressures mobilised in dry sand with active rigid retaining wall movement
Géotechnique Letters, 2021 A series of centrifuge tests was conducted to explore the earth pressures mobilised in loose and dense sand for a complete set of active movement modes of a rigid retaining wall: rotation about the base, translation and rotation about the top. Earth pressures behind the wall were measured by a Tekscan pressure mapping system.

A two-rigid block model for sliding gravity retaining walls [PDF]
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2013 This paper presents a new two-rigid block model for sliding gravity retaining walls. Some conceptual limitations of a direct application of Newmark's sliding block method to the case of retaining walls are discussed with reference to a simple scheme of two interacting rigid blocks on an inclined plane.

DEM analysis of passive failure state behind a rigid retaining wall: effect of boundary conditions [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) is a virtual testing method that enables multiscale studies on granular materials. DEM provides a well-controlled testing environment, which enables precise systematic evaluation of the factors influencing the bulk ...

Interaction between a rigid retaining wall and unsaturated soils [PDF]
, 2014 Retaining walls are widely used for stabilising earth slopes and supporting excavations. They often interact with soils which are unsaturated. However, retaining wall-unsaturated soil interaction has not been investigated in experiments and treated adequately in theories.

Passive earth pressure on vertical rigid walls with negative wall friction coupling statically admissible stress field and soft computing [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIt is well known that the roughness of a wall plays a crucial role in determining the passive earth pressure that is exerted on a rigid wall. While the effects of positive wall roughness have been extensively studied in the past few decades, the study of

Sand Deformation Mechanisms and Earth Pressures Mobilised with Passive Rigid Retaining Wall Movements [PDF]
, 2022 A series of centrifuge tests was conducted to explore the deformation mechanisms and earth pressures mobilised in loose and dense sand for a complete set of passive movement modes of a rigid retaining wall: rotation about the top and base and translation.

Ground movements during diaphragm wall installation in clays [PDF]
, 1993 PhDDiaphragm walls are being used increasingly in connection with building basements and road improvement schemes, particularly in urban areas. Many of these walls retain overconsolidated clay, and the magnitude of the lateral stresses which will act ...

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.
