Rigidly Framed Earth Retaining Structures
Structures placed on hillsides often present a number of challenges and a limited number of economical choices for site design. An option sometimes employed is to use the building frame as a retaining element, comprising a Rigidly Framed Earth Retaining Structure (RFERS). The relationship between temperature and earth pressure acting on RFERS, is explored in this monograph through a 4.5 year mo...
متن کاملEstimation of Seismic Earth Pressures Against Rigid Retaining Structures with Rotation Mode
The evaluation of seismic earth pressures is of vital importance for the earthquake resistant design of various retaining walls and infrastructures. It is one of the key research subjects in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In engineering practices, the magnitude and distribution of seismic earth pressures are greatly affected by the mode and amount of wall displacement. However, cl...
متن کاملseismic analysis of lateral earth pressure and retaining walls
eart pressure problems are encountered in retaining walls, bulkheads, sheeting and bracing in cuts,culverts, tunnels, and cofferdams. in many cases, the lateral pressure is determined by use of classical earth pressure theories, such as coulomb's, where the equilibrium conditions of a failure wedge of soil is considered. excessive dynamic lateral earth pressure on retaining structures resu...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of Earth Pressures for Narrow Retaining Walls
High traffic demands have led to widening of existing highways to accommodate increased traffic volume. However, due to the high cost of additional right-of-way and limited space available at job sites, construction of earth retaining walls is often done under a constrained space. This leads to retaining walls that are narrower than in design guidelines. This type of walls is referred as “Narro...
متن کاملDistribution 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...
