Research on the Differences of Retaining Wall between in Widening Highway and in the New Highway

Abstract:

At present, the widening highway retaining wall is often used in engineering practice, but compare to the new highway retaining wall, there is not any highlight differences on design method to the widening highway retaining wall. The paper lays on a widening highway retaining wall in an engineer, based on the analysis of the differences between the widening highway retaining wall and the new highway retaining wall, using the finite element method for modeling and analysis of the widening highway retaining wall and the new highway retaining wall, then conclude that the soil displacements and earth pressures between the two models are significantly different, finally point out the considerations in design.
