Analysis of Earth Berm on the Impact of Cantilever Retaining Structure Based on ABAQUS

Article Preview

Abstract:

Software ABAQUS was carried out to analyze the effect of earth berms on behavior of cantilever retaining structure, and the soil was in modified Cambridge model. The results showed that: in the premise of ensuring the stability of earth berm itself, height and width of earth berm increased reasonably can reduce the horizontal displacement and bending moment of supporting structure, so as to improve the safety of the supporting structure, and save the cost of project.
