Stability analysis of concrete block retaining wall based on a scaled laboratory

A concrete block retaining wall is supported by its weight. This structure has some advantages, including lower construction costs, a water-permeable that produces less water pressure behind the wall, and more flexible because it can follow ground's contours. Rankine's theory usually used to design this wall. According theory, failure pattern forms an angle of 450 + • /2 with horizontal plane. The laboratory tests indicate or sand movement similar letter S. From sandy soil curve, look for functional equation approximating pattern. function obtained third-order function. An analysis sliding, overturning, overall stability based on cube Analysis using method slices, dividing area several slices. These order three needed get length failure.
