Comparative Analysis of Traditional Braced Wall System and Retaining Wall System with Pre-Stressed Wale and Square Pipe Struts

Abstract:

H shape steel strut, which is the most commonly used material in traditional braced wall system (TBWS), has some disadvantage such as narrow strut spacing and cost ineffectiveness. Therefore, a newly retaining wall system with pre-stressed (PS) wale and square pipe struts is developed for widening strut spacing and saving construction costs. In this study, three cases, which are changed from TBWS with H shape steel strut to retaining wall system with PS wale and square pipe struts, are compared construction costs and constructability. This results reveal that construction costs is decreased by 46.9% on average and constructability is improved by decreasing the amount of material and widening the strut spacing.
