Study the Axial Force-Time History of Reinforced Retaining Wall under Earthquake Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this analysis, 3-D nonlinear FEM model is built in consideration of the cooperation and interaction among backfill soil, panel and reinforcement strip; the backfill soil is simulated by nonlinear static and dynamic elastic-plastic model; the reinforcement is simulated by the dual-phase enhanced linear elastic-plastic model which can describe the intensified features of the reinforcement; the interaction of soil and retaining structures is simulated by the friction-element. By comparison of before and after earthquake, result is get of the axial force difference reinforcement layer. The increased maximum location is close to toe of the wall.
