Non-Linear Rupture Surface and Response of Retaining Wall under Static Loading Condition during Active State of Equilibrium

چکیده
Abstract— In this paper, an effort has been made to determine the active earth pressure on rigid retaining wall considering non-linear failure surface. The backfill of c-Φ nature has been considered for the purpose. Analytical solutions have been obtained considering non-linearity of the rupture surface using Horizontal Slicing Method. The nonlinear model is supposed to provide more general solution compared to linear nature of failure surface. The effects of variation of all the parameters have been studied and it is seen that the shape of the rupture surface may be hogging or sagging in nature.

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 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....
متن کاملEquilibrium, Stability and Evolution of Elastic Plates under the Combined Effects of Stress and Surface Diffusion
The particles in an elastic plate are permitted to move by a surface diffusion process subject to the constraint that the total free energy does not increase. The static equilibrium, the quasistatic linear stability, and the quasi-static nonlinear evolution of the surface are examined under different loading conditions: tensile/compressive or #exural. The equilibrium con"gurations are such that...
متن کاملSeismic Active Earth Pressure of Narrow Geosynthetic-Reinforced Backfill on Rigid Facing
In the narrow geosynthetic-reinforced retaining walls a stable rear wall exists in a short distance and so there is no enough space to extend appropriate length of reinforcements. In this case, the probability of overturning of retaining wall increases especially when subjected to earthquake loading. To increase the stability of the wall, reinforcements may be connected to the stable rear surfa...
متن کاملDEM Analysis of Backfilled Walls Subjected to Active Translation Mode
In this paper, the problem of a retaining wall under active translation mode is investigated numerically. To this end, a series of numerical models is conducted using the discrete element code, PFC2D. The backfill soil is simulated by an assembly of separate cohesionless circular particles. Backfill soil was prepared by pouring soil particles from a specific height under gravity force and givin...
