Numerical Simulation Analysis of Stress and Deformation of Gravity Retaining Wall Based on Finite Element
Based on the finite element strength reduction method,an 11.74 m high gravity retaining wall is numerically simulated.By comparing it with unsupported slopes,the deformation,stress,effective plastic strain,and overall stability of gravity retaining walls were analyzed.The results show that the gravity retaining wall can effectively limit the sliding of the slope.The horizontal displacement and settlement are 3.89 mm and 12.60 mm,respectively.The horizontal displacement shows a linear distribution along the height direction,with the displacement mode of the gravity retaining wall being rotational failure around the bottom of the wall.The compressive stress of the gravity retaining wall is nonlinearly distributed along the height direction.
