Parametric analysis of back-to-back reinforced earth retaining walls
Abstract
In
recent years, Reinforced Earth retaining structures have become more desirable
for construction and civil engineering projects because of their suitable
performance, variation of design and construction methods. In this article, the
performance of back-to-back reinforced earth walls has been evaluated and
analyzed. Throughout the article, the effect of different parameters such as
angle of internal friction, soil unit weight, cohesion, using different
materials in layers with 1.5 m thickness and reinforcing elements'
specifications has been analyzed. For detailed information from the site of the
wall, a borehole was drilled to a depth of 30 m and geotechnical tests were
done in Hormozgan province (Iran). The results show that the lower length and
tensile strength can be used with higher angle of internal friction and
adhesion. Also, utilizing material in different layers produces a more
favorable performance, optimization and decreases the strength of reinforcer
elements.
