Study on the Behavior of Reinforced Retaining Wall Under Earthquake Loading Using FEM Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nonlinear FEM (ADINA) is used for the mechanical analysis of reinforced retaining Wall. In this analysis,3-D nonlinear FEM model is built in consideration of the cooperation and interaction among backfill soil, panel and reinforcement strip; the backfill soil is simulated by nonlinear static and dynamic elastic-plastic model; the reinforcement is simulated by the dual-phase enhanced linear elastic-plastic model which can describe the intensified features of the reinforcement; the interaction of soil and retaining structures is simulated by the friction-element. The application to a project yields the distribution law of the strip’s most dollar point of force and the changing rules of the strip’s pulling force around earthquake.
