Dynamic Deformation Behavior and Life Analysis of Green Reinforced Gabion Retaining Wall

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study dynamic deformation behavior of green reinforced gabion retaining wall, lab test was carried out and the dynamic loads of 4 frequencies and 4 amplitudes were imposed. The total cycles of dynamic load reached 2 million. Lateral and vertical deformation behaviors of green reinforced gabion retaining wall were investigated, and the main factors which influenced the dynamic deformation behavior and their significance were obtained. Meanwhile, fatigue life analysis on green reinforced gabion retaining wall was made. The results show that dynamic deformation is greatly affected by amplitude and the cycles of dynamic load, not significantly affected by frequency. The maximum lateral and vertical deformation occur in the fifth layer of green reinforced gabion wall. With the increase of train load and train speed, fatigue damage and fatigue life of green reinforced gabion retaining wall can be estimated based on accumulative fatigue damage theory.
