Abstract

To analyze and summarize the actual characteristics of retaining wall under different circumstances, which include nature soil, soil in different degree of compaction and soil with anchors, a finite element model is established according to an expressway widening project, which includes a gravity retaining wall up to 18m. Results show that displacement to the outside of retaining wall happens with tensile stress generates in the inner side, which is positively correlated to the degree of compaction of the soil behind the retaining wall. In addition, it turns out to be the case that adding anchor rods can be effective in ensuring the stability of retaining wall for high slope.
