Numerical Simulation on Soil Pressure Distribution Characteristics of Gravity Retaining Wall

Article Preview

Abstract:

The anchor plays a very important role in gravity retaining wall. The displacement of retaining and soil pressure distribution with anchor is different from that without anchor. The numerical simulation software FLAC3D is used to analysis the soil pressure distribution characteristics of gravity retaining wall. The results show that the anchor plays a supporting role in gravity retaining wall. There is a critical length in the anchor in gravity retaining wall. The soil pressure distribution of gravity retaining wall with anchor does not conform to the classical Coulomb linear distribution theory and more research is needed for the soil pressure distribution theory. The research has important guiding significance on the design and construction development of gravity retaining wall.
