Masonry retaining structure consists of precast concrete blocks, which has good looks and is in harmony with environment. Blocks with proper shape can be used in fluctuating belt of the reservoir area. The construction of masonry structure should conform to the following steps: first, excavate the foundation ditch, lay a cushion and arrange the controlling points, insuring the quality of the first layer of blocks; it would be better to choose inorganic coarse-grained soil as filler and to set a water filtering layer with a height more than 30cm behind the retaining wall; carry on the construction of earth filling behind the wall after the blocks are fixed as requested, and then fix the geotechnical grille when the height of earth filling reaches the elevation of the grille; put Geotechnical Fabric between permeable aggregate and the earth filling behind it to keep the two materials from mixing.

Soil Arching Effect

For c-φ soil formation (cohesive soil) of limited width with ground surface overload behind a deep retaining structure, a modified active earth pressure calculation model is established in this study. And three key issues are addressed through improved soil arching effect. First, the soil-wall interaction mechanism is determined by considering the soil arching effect. The slip surface of a limited soil is proved to be a double-fold line passing through the retaining wall toe and intersecting the side wall of the existing underground structure until it reaches the ground surface along the existing side wall. Second, the limited width boundary is explicated. And third, the variation in the active earth pressure from parameters of limited c-φ soil is determined. The lateral active earth pressure coefficient is nonlinear distributed based on the improved soil arching effect of the symmetric catenary curve. Furthermore, the active earth pressure distribution, the tension crack at the top of the retaining wall and the resultant force and its action point were obtained. By comparing with the existing analytical methods, such as the Rankine method, it demonstrates that the model proposed in this study is much closer to the measured and numerical results. Ignoring the influence of soil cohesion and the limited width will exponentially reduce the overall stability of the retaining structure and increase the risk of accidents.

Retaining walls are structures used not only to retain earth but also water and other materials such as coal, ore, etc. where conditions do not permit the mass to assume its natural slope. In this chapter, after considering the types of retaining wall, earth pressure theories are developed in estimating the lateral pressure exerted by the soil on a retaining structure for at-rest, active, and passive cases. The effect of sloping backfill, wall friction, surcharge load, point loads, line loads, and strip loads are analyzed. Karl Culmann's graphical method can be used for determining both active and passive earth pressures. The analysis of braced excavations, sheet piles, and anchored sheet pile walls are considered and practical considerations in the design of retaining walls are treated. They include saturated backfill, wall friction, stability both external and internal, bearing capacity, and proportioning the dimensions of the retaining wall. Finally, a brief treatment of earth pressure on underground structures is included.

Abstract Variation laws of earth pressure accounting for the displacement of are taining wall can be well described by mathmatical fitting in the study of the relationship between earth pressure and retaining wall displacement. The common mathematical function expressions of earth pressure displacement of retaining wall can be divided into sinusoidal function model, exponential like function model, hyperbolic function model, fitting function and semi-numerical and semi-analytical model function, etc. The characteristics and shortcomings of the current expression of earth pressure displacement function are summarized. Then combined with the field test and model test, the applicability and characteristics of various mathematical functions in predicting the displacement of earth pressure with retaining structures are analyzed. The results show that when the displacement is small, the sinusoidal function model and the quasi-exponential function model are close to the measured results. When the displacement of retaining structure is large, the fitting results of hyperbolic model and semi-numerical and semi-analytical model are better. For the prediction of earth pressure displacement relationship in passive area, the buried depth has a great influence. And the error between the theoretical value and the actual value has a great influence on the fitting result of the model.

Bored Piles

One of the potential applications of bored piles is the construction of a retaining wall where the piles are closely installed and the spacing between them is often grouted to build a waterproof retaining wall. Based on previous experience, it is observed that the selection of an appropriate retaining structure is crucial to the strength and stability of a structure, provided that the design of retaining structure is adequate and it satisfies the structural requirements. This study considers a Malaysian slope, Bukit Antarabangsa, to perform the probabilistic stability analysis of bored piles. Statistical tools of FORM and Monte Carlo are used to demonstrate the influence of soil parameters on the reliability levels of structure. This paper also presents the load and resistance factors which are developed to counter the rotational and flexural failure modes of a bored pile wall. It is expected that this study will provide a support to the Malaysian geotechnical industry to integrate a reliability-based design for slope construction.

The Relationship

Earth pressure may change with retaining wall deformation in the process of deep excavating. But how? The answer can be very important to the safety of retaining system. Using monitoring data of north anchor foundation pit of Runyang suspension bridge, this paper studied retaining structure and soil interaction. Find the relationship between retaining wall deformation and earth pressure in deep excavation. In this case, earth pressure increased with wall deformation upward the depth of 18m and decreased with wall deformation down below. A regression equation about foundation pit depth and ratio of earth pressure and wall deformation was established. Then give a simplified earth pressure calculation method considering retaining wall deformation.

Shrinkage induced tensile force was observed in a 264m long reinforced concrete struts through field monitoring during a foundation excavation in Shanghai, China. In the construction period, shrinkage occurring in latter cast concrete induces a tensile force to the former part of long Reinforced Concrete strut. Inclinometer installed in retaining wall also shows that the tensile force produced by shrinkage tends to pull the diaphragm wall, which makes an enlargement to the deflection under earth pressure. This paper describes the layout of retaining structure, ground conditions, excavation procedures, and monitoring installation. Monitoring data shows that concrete shrinkage in the super-long RC strut will produce tension to the supporting structure. The influence of concrete shrinkage and relative controlling strategy are suggested in the end.
