Movements of footings and retaining walls
… a simple procedure for calculating movements of retaining walls due to the weight of backfill. The accuracy and reliability of twelve methods of estimating settlements of footings on sand and gravels were examined by comparing calculated settlements with the measured values. Eleven of the methods …

Seismic performance of single-propped retaining walls
… the dynamic performance of single-propped retaining walls in dry sand under different seismic excitations using the finite difference software FLAC v7.0 (Itasca). The structure comprises two reinforced concrete diaphragm walls connected by a row of cross-lot struts that is used to support a …

Deformation prediction of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls
… the deformation of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls is presented. This investigation included laboratory testing of geosynthetic reinforcements and geosynthetic reinforced cohesionless soils, and finite element analysis of reinforced soil retaining walls.Two sands, two polypropylene …

Evaluating Performance of Hybrid Geosynthetic-Reinforced Retaining Walls
Geosynthetic-Reinforced Retaining (GRR) walls have been extensively used in highway projects. A novel GRR wall was proposed to mitigate the problems (e.g. high connection stress) resulting from the relatively large spacing of primary reinforcement. This new GRR wall has secondary reinforcement …

Multi-Hazard Modelling of Dual Row Retaining Walls
… environmentally friendly design. The dual row retaining wall concept, which features two parallel sheet pile walls with a sand infill between them and tie rods connecting the wall heads, is potentially an efficient and resilient system in the face of both earthquake and tsunami loading. Optimal …

Seismic Behaviour of Retaining Walls with Adjacent Structures
… representing a container crane, a cantilever retaining wall, and liquefiable sand. Two models without a structure behind the retaining wall are considered benchmark tests. Seven dynamic centrifuge tests were conducted to study the effects of various factors on the behaviour of the …

Displacement-based analysis and design of rigid retaining walls during earthquakes
… focused on the analysis and design of rigid retaining walls subjected to earthquakes and considered nonlinear foundation soil properties. The simultaneous sliding and rocking movements of retaining walls were considered. Seven field conditions, including moist, submerged, perched and …

Determination of Seismic Earth Pressures on Retaining Walls Through Finite Element Analysis
<p>Seismic pressures on displacing or rigid retaining or basement walls have been derived based on the original work of Mononobe and Okabe, who used a shake table to calculate dynamic pressures of displacing retaining walls existing in cohesionless soils. Since this original work was done over …

An experimental and analytic study of earth loads on rigid retaining walls
… on the magnitudes of backfill loads on rigid retaining walls. Measurements of lateral and vertical backfill loads were made during tests using the Virginia Tech instrumented retaining wall facility. The tests were performed with two soils, moist Yatesville silty sand and dry Light Castle sand. …

Numerical Study and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Calibration for Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
… structures including reinforced soil retaining walls. The ultimate objective of this thesis work was to carry out reliability-based analysis for load and resistance factor design calibration for rupture and pullout limit states for steel and geosynthetic reinforced soil walls under …

An analytic hierarchy process and Markov chain based approach for condition rating and dynamic service life prediction of retaining walls
Retaining walls are typically considered auxiliary assets within the global transportation asset management scheme. However, failure cases to this structure class have attracted more attention to retaining wall assets. The possibility of failure also helps validate Moving Ahead for Progress in the …

Numerical Analysis on Seismic Response of Cantilever Retaining Wall Systems and Fragility Analysis on Motion Response
In this investigation, seismic response of retaining walls constructed with cohesive and cohesionless backfill materials was studied. Fully dynamic analysis based on finite difference method was used to evaluate the performance of retaining walls during the earthquake. The analysis response was …
