Working performance of vertical reinforced earth retaining wall under different panel forms
In order to study the working performance and distribution of mechanical properties of vertical rein-forced earth retaining wall under different panel forms,finite element numerical simulation software Plaxis was used to conduct numerical modeling of the block-type and reverse-cladding-type vertical reinforced earth retaining wall,respectively. Reliable stress-strain data such as reinforcement tension,horizontal displacement of the panel,and potential fracture surface location were obtained. The research results showed that the reinforcement tension and the horizontal displacement of the panel at the foot and top of the block-type retaining wall were the minimum,and reached the maximum at the middle of the retaining wall;the distribution along the height of the wall was approximately trapezoidal. The reinforcement tension of the reverse-cladding-type retaining wall presented a monotonically decreasing curve along the increasing direction of wall height,while the horizontal displacement of the panel presented a monotonically increasing curve along the increasing direction of wall height. The reinforcement tension and the horizontal displacement of the panel of the block-type retaining wall were smaller than those of the reverse cladding-type retaining wall. The potential fracture surface of the block-type retaining wall was closer to the panel than that of the reverse cladding-type retaining wall. Therefore,the mechanical properties of the block-type retaining wall are superior to the reverse cladding-type retaining wall under the same working conditions.
