Seismic Analysis of Soil Nailed Wall Using Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using dynamic elastic-plastic finite element method, on the base of works together and interaction between loess and flexible retaining wall, 3-D nonlinear FEM (ADINA) is used to analyze and discussed the dynamic response of slope protected by soil nailing retaining wall under the EL-Centro and man-made Lanzhou accelerogram. A model that is capable of simulating the nonlinear static and dynamic elastic-plastic behavior of soil is used to model the soil, and a bilinear elastic-plastic model that has hardening behavior is used to model the soil nailing. Friction-element is employed to describe the soil-structure interaction behavior.The results show that the method is safe and credible. The results of the FEM dynamic analysis can be a useful reference for engineers of the design and construction of the soil nailed wall.
