Abstract It was repeated in the traditional design and construction process of retaining wall guide diaphragm wall, resulting prolonged period, increased amount temporary structural concrete pouring demolition, caused data waste environmental pollution, which does not meet requirements green construction. In this paper, based on deep foundation pit project standard underground station rail tran...

several relationships to assess at-rest pressure coefficient in retaining walls, have been developed by different researchers. these suggested relationships are generally a function of mechanical soil parameters such as internal friction angel, poison ratio and over-consolidation ratio. in integral bridges, however, this coefficient is also a function of many other parameters other than soil ch...

In this paper, the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm is utilized to perform single and multivariate parametric studies acquire optimization of both size cost reinforced concrete (RC) retaining walls embedded in pure frictional soils. The geotechnical properties backfill foundation soil such as shear strength angle, unit weight, ultimate bearing pressure have been used create different cases for eva...

inclined retaining walls with slopes less than perpendicular are appropriate candidates in several engineering problems. yet, to the knowledge of authors, only a few analytical solution for calculation of active earth pressure on such walls, which will be usually smaller than the same pressure on vertical ones, has been presented neither in research papers nor in design codes. considering limit...

Although fibre-reinforced-concrete (FRC) is increasingly used, it has been occasionally applied to water-retaining structures (WRSs), and no comprehensive design guidelines are currently available for the of WRSs with FRC. A methodology such applications based on recommendations research three reference scenarios representing a wide range WRSs: flood defence wall, weir swimming pool wall. For e...

In the construction process of a plastic concrete cut-off wall, concreting is usually performed using the termie pipe method. In this method, concreting is performed from the lowest point in the excavated trench (containing the slurry) using a funnel and the pipe connected to it. The concrete poured in the funnel gradually settles in the panel through the termie pipe which is beneath the slurry...

Sloshing due to ground motion develops large pressure on the walls of water retaining tanks. This paper evaluates the efficacy of padded walls on the reduction of sloshing effects in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to ground motion. An analytical solution based on velocity potential function is provided to obtain the response of  rigid and padded wall tanks in terms of the wave elevat...

• Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil with Retaining Wall (GRS-RW) vs conventional embankment. The experiments are carried out in a full-scale testing facility laboratory. Two track forms considered: three-sleeper concrete slab and ballasted track. GRS-RW structure showed good performance under both static cyclic loading. pressure levels found the experiment were compared against literature. This pape...
