The Analysis Stability of Anchor Retaining Wall

Abstract

The construction of anchored retaining walls reach every day in the field of Civil Engineering especially in public works. Their dimensioning and stability are the axes of research for geotechnical. The rule is to reduce the active forces of the slide and increase the effective normal stress on the rupture surface. So that, we anchored tied-back (constituted by steel cables) in the stable ground located under the failure surface and we apply at the top a traction force. This effort can be distributed over the ground surface by means of small plates or massive reinforced concrete. The study of the stability of anchored retaining wall was also performed by using software GEO4. Many cases can be solved using analytical solutions available in the group GEO4 program, but for our standard model solution studied analytically proved unsatisfactory so we used a numerical analysis based on the method of finite element in this program. The results obtained by numerical study were interpreted to identify the precision numerical predictions. Moreover these methods were useful and economics in the realization of reinforced slopes by tied-buck.

“…The D-P [8] yielding criterion is used to simulate the nonlinearity of geotechnical materials. When the material yields, the conical yield surface of this criterion does not change [9].The D-P criterion simulates the material by determining the parameters [10] such as the modulus of elasticity (E), Poisson's ratio ( ), cohesion (c), and angle of internal friction ( ) of the material [11]. The yield conditions of the D-P material are shown below [12].…”
