Effect of Machine Foundation Stresses on Gravity Retaining Wall Using FEM

The dynamic reaction of the natural type retaining wall is quite complex. Wall development and pressure rely upon soil underneath a backfill. greater part present knowledge has originated from model test numerical analysis. This paper aims to know behavior Also, under effect machine foundation, modeling used concerning method finite element. Two amplitudes foundation subjected three frequencies were used. in element was linear elastic (LE) for Mohr-Coulomb (MC) soil. results this analysis amplitude 25 kPa, lateral displacement 75% more than active case 40 125% active, velocity 30 mm /sec very far higher maximum permissible 2.5 mm/sec acceleration decreased by 52% between wall.
