Abstract Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is one of the lightweight materials used in civil engineering applications. Present study deals with application retaining wall as a backfill. In this study, two-dimensional finite element software to simulate geofoam. A 6m height considered. Lateral pressures and surface settlements are examined for various orientations Orientations include upper tri...

An effort is made to evaluate the formulation of seismic active earth pressure behind a nonvertical retaining wall supporting c-Ф backfill. The formulation is prepared to get a single critical wedge surface for simultaneous action of weight, surcharge, cohesion and adhesion. The success of any retaining structure involves the awareness of seismic active earth pressure. The effect of various par...

Abstract A comparative analysis of the solutions for seismic impact on a flexible retaining wall designed to strengthen construction excavation multi-storey building in Sofia has been performed. For this purpose, following FEM calculation models interaction with surrounding soil body were compiled: (1) 1D beam-column-spring model wall, including spring support its embedded length and pseudostat...

Retaining walls are geostructures providing permanent lateral support to vertical slopes of soil, and it is essential analyze the failure probability such a structure. To keep importance geotechnics on par with advancement in technology, implementation artificial intelligence techniques done for reliability analysis Designing structure based leads an economical design. Machine learning models u...

Abstract The highway section on the D3 Hričovské Podhradie – Žilina Strážov was carried out left branch of body overpass and right embankment body. stability ensured by a geosynthetics reinforced retaining wall. wall assembled from concrete prefabs, which uniaxial geogrids were attached. article presents numerical analysis deformations this structure in profile monitored geotechnical monitoring...
