Stress Analysis of the Rectangular Retaining Wall under Water Pressure Based on Elasticity Mechanics

Article Preview

Abstract:

To study the distribution of stress in a dam with rectangular section under water, the dam was simplified a rectangular structure with limited length. Based on the theory of mechanics of elasticity a stress function was deduced which was used to calculate the stress and displacement in any point of the dam. The results show that the normal stress along the length direction was not equal to zero, but the strain along the direction equal to zero.
