Response and Parameter Analysis of Reinforced Retaining Wall under Earthquake Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

FEM is use for the mechanical analysis of reinforced retaining wall under earthquake loading. The main results are as following. The displacement and axial force increased with the increased seismic intensity. The displacement and axial force decreased with the increased the length of bar strip. The displacement and axial force decreased with the decreased the spacing of bar strip. The displacement and axial force decreased with the increased physical mechanics parameters of filling. Seismic response was similar under bilateral seismic loading and horizontal seismic loading, seismic response was slightly larger under bilateral seismic loading.
