There is significant interaction between the new supporting structure and existing adjacent retaining wall in dredging excavation project of urban rivers. In addition, three factors, spatial location, stiffness structures, soil conditions two sides will exert effects on bearing properties structures. Combined with an actual project, FLAC3D software was applied to analyze influencing rule U-shap...

Slope is a plane on the ground level that connects higher with lower level. On every slope there always possibility of landslides because uneven ground, component gravity tends to move soil from high elevation elevation. One efforts can be made prevent landslide build retaining wall. Retaining walls are generally concrete, but in some conditions, use common materials problematic, especially ter...

buildings with wall or frame-wall systems are more effective against earthquake forces and sustain less damage than buildings which their lateral resistance is solely depends on frames. four reinforced concrete (rc) structural wall specimens were subjected to cyclic loading using finite elements method with abaqus software in order to study influence of diagonal web reinforcement. the research ...

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...

Abstract: The design of retaining walls requires the complete knowledge of the earth pressure distribution behind the wall. Due to the complex soil-structure effect, the estimation of earth pressure is not an easy task; even in the static case. The problem becomes even more complex for the dynamic (i.e., seismic) analysis and design of retaining walls. Several earth pressure models have been de...

cylindrical concrete tanks are commonly used in wastewater treatment plants. these are usually clarifier tanks. design codes of practice provide methods to calculate design forces in the wall and raft of such tanks. these methods neglect self-weight of tank material and assume extreme, namely ‘fixed’ and ‘hinged’ conditions for the wall bottom. however, when founded on deformable soil, the actu...
