Research on the Calculation Method of Stress in Retaining Wall Based on Elasticity Theory

Abstract:

The retaining walls were divided into water retaining wall and soil retaining wall, they were built to cut off rivers or prevent soil structures from sliding. In engineering the stress state of the structure played an important role to analysis the working condition and to guarantee the project safety. The stress state of any point in the water retaining wall and soil retaining wall were studied based on the elasticity theory and soil mechanics. The method of semi-inverse was used to deduce the stress intensity of the retaining wall in polar coordinate. And if the failure criteria and strength conditions of the retaining wall were known, the working and safety state of the structure could be checked from the stress intensity.
