Active Earth Pressure Acting on Circular Shafts Using Numerical Approach

Retaining walls in axi-symmetric conditions and plane strains have been widely treated the literature using different approaches (limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip line, numerical techniques by finite elements or differences). The element difference method provides more accurate solutions to problem than equilibrium method. In this paper, a new model of retaining wall axi-symmetry under outward pressure is considered, case can be used design grain silos, buildings road constructions. Numerical calculations FLAC are reported evaluate evolution earth distribution on cylindrical filled with granular material subjected radial displacement. A parametric study carried out order active according radius, angle friction material, interface material-wall. This shows that there an effect circular shape inclination pressures.
