Application of Counterweight Retaining Wall in Slope Support Engineering
In order to solve the problems of self-weight and poor basement stress diffusion of counterweight retaining wall,based on a road re-construction project in a mountainous area in northeast Jiangxi Province,this paper comprehensively considers the problems such as tipping de-formation and uneven basement settlement that are prone to occur during the construction of the counterweight retaining wall,optimize the de-sign and construction of the counterweight retaining wall,and monitor the subsoil pressure of the counterweight retaining wall foundation after construction.The results show that the increase of basement earth pressure at each monitoring point is about 3.0 kPa/month,indicating that the change of basement earth pressure during the operation of the counterweight retaining wall is small,which verifies the durability and stabili-ty of the retaining wall.
