Investigation on Behavior of Two-Level Soil-Reinforced Segmental Retaining Walls Using Finite Element Analysis

유한요소해석을 통한 계단식 보강토 옹벽의 거동특성

The behavior of two-level soil-reinforced segmental retaining wall was examined using the finite element analysis. A number of different case was analyzed by varying the reinforcement length and the offset distance between the upper and lower wall. The results indicate that the interaction between the upper and lower walls can be neglected the upper wall is located beyond the distance of the lower wall height. A so found is that for moderate offset distances, the interaction between the two walls generally is limited to the external stability of the wall. Implication of the findings are discussed
