Dual-row retaining walls can be utilised to form embankment structures for protection against tsunamis or as port structures. The dynamic response of these involves a complex interaction between the soil and structural elements which is not well understood. In this paper, first time combination centrifuge finite-element modelling used better understand mechanical combined wall–soil system. meas...

in this study, stability of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls investigated using plaxis code that is based on finite element method. the effects of axial stiffness, length and vertical space between geosynthetic layers, internal friction angle of soil wall and cohesion of foundation on deformations of wall and maximum axial force of geosynthetic have been investigated. results of ana...

Simulations de grandes déformations et post-rupture des murs de soutènement segmentaires utilisant la méthode des mailles-libres (SPH) ABSTRACT: Numerical methods are extremely useful in gaining insights into the behaviour of reinforced soil retaining walls. However, traditional numerical approaches such as limit equilibrium or finite element methods are unable to simulate large deformation and...

The compound strip method (CSM) for plates is an expansion of the finite strip method (FSM) and was developed to incorporate the effects of the support elements in the analysis of linear elastic plate systems. In this paper the CSM is further expanded to analyze structures such as stiffened plates under loads in the plane of the plate or the so called plane-stress condition. Examples of these t...
