Distribution of lateral active earth pressure on a rigid retaining wall under various motion modes
The design of retaining walls depends on the magnitude of active pressure exerted from the backfill. Therefore, estimating the scale of this pressure is a fundamental factor in the design. In this study, to assess the active earth pressure, a rigid retaining wall was built capable of translating and/or rotating with adjustable speed. Further, several physical tests were conducte...
متن کاملEstimation of active earth pressure against rigid retaining walls considering arching effects
It is known that the distribution of active earth pressure against a translating rigid wall is not triangular but nonlinear, owing to arching effects in the backfill. In the present paper, a new formulation is proposed for calculating the active earth pressure on a rigid retaining wall undergoing horizontal translation. It takes into account the arching effects that occur in the backfill (or re...
متن کاملSoil Arching Behind Retaining Walls under Active Translation Mode: Review and New Insights
Granular materials have a tendency to exhibit an arching effect by which the load is transferred from yielding parts to adjacent stationary parts. Retaining walls are among those structures that the soil arching plays an important role in the distribution of earth pressures. This paper briefly reviews the development of soil arching theory and its application to different geotechnical projects....

Design of earth dams and their problems are important during construction and after it,because of their potential hazards and failure for downstream population. The dam foundation seepage control the the importance from the perspective of a major engineering project and explain the economic performance of each project is allocated. among activities that can be used to prevent piping phenomena a...
متن کاملProposed Dynamic Soil Pressure Diagram On Rigid Walls.
Using finite element nonlinear analysis, the dynamic soil pressure on perimeter retainingwalls of structures is investigated. Nonlinear Drucker Prager failure criterion is used to model the soilbehavior in the near field. The far field soil and the middle structure are assumed to behave as linearelastic materials. The soil-wall interface behavior is modeled incorporating nonlinear interfaceelem...
