Double Twisted Hexagonal Wire Mesh Retaining Wall Seismic Numerical Analysis

Abstract:

Based on constitutive model of soil and reinforcement-soil, a numerical analysis program is compiled by finite difference method. Strength and deformation characteristics of double twisted hexagonal wire mesh retaining wall under seismic loading are analyzed by 3D finite difference method. The behaviors such as horizontal displacement, settlement of retaining wall, earth pressure of basement and distribution of lateral earth pressure along wall-back are obtained.
