Chile Earthquake

The 27 February 2010 Maule, Chile, earthquake occurred during the driest time of the year, which implied that most of the soils in the slopes were not saturated and that the dams had extra freeboard. This may explain the small number of slope failures caused by the earthquake. However, two important earth dams suffered seismically induced permanent ground movements, but no catastrophic damage was reported because the reservoirs levels were low. Five medium-sized mine tailings dams failed due to liquefaction; one of them tragically caused four casualties. Retaining structures of all types performed well and no failures were observed.

Pressure Changes

This paper investigates the pressures exerted by clay backfills against retaining structures. The lateral pressures are developed during three main phases: placement, compaction, and burial; horizontal total stress reduction at constant moisture content; and swelling or consolidation under approximately constant vertical stress. Experimental data from laboratory and pilot-scale studies, using clays of intermediate and high plasticity, are presented and used to assess the magnitude of the pressure changes in each phase. The process of compaction is examined and it is concluded that previously developed theories for assessing the pressures on retaining walls developed by compaction of granular soils are inapplicable for cohesive soils. The factors controlling the swelling of cohesive backfill are reviewed and results from a preliminary numerical study are used to provide an indication of the likely effects of plasticity and placement moisture content. Key words: earth pressure, retaining walls, clay, compaction, swelling.

Construction Practice

In contemporary construction practice is increasingly being applied flexible retaining structures of mechanically stabilized earth, gabions and precast elements. Although widely used only recently, their benefits are proven and widely accepted. The first part of the paper provides an overview of the possible ways of using of precast elements in the construction of retaining walls. The second part gives a detailed overview of the experimental testing of stability of retaining walls of prefabricated betonblok elements. The effect of static loads on the wall was examined in the first, and the effect of the dynamic loads in the second experiment. The results are analyzed and recommendations for future research are given.

At this time, the development of retaining structures continues to be optimized according to the available land use, to deal with current and future landslides. The structure of the retaining wall (Turap) is expected to provide a solution for the handling. Based on the type of material used, several types of sheet pile are known, namely; wood sheet pile, concrete sheet pile and steel sheet pile, and based on the type of construction there are two types, namely; cantilever type and anchor type. Sheet pile made of wood, the function of this material is to retain the soil which is not so high. This is because the wood material will not be able to withstand excessive soil or gravel loads. In a handling, knowing the function or planning for handling avalanches is very important, because by knowing the purpose and function of the plan, it can be easier in the design and planning process. Calculations for the quality and efficiency of handling can be achieved as desired. The purpose of this study was to analyze the planning calculation of the dimensions of the temporary wood sheet pile (length of planted wood and thickness) as a soil barrier that was built to prevent landslides caused by the intensity of rain. From the results of the research that has been carried out, the planning of wooden sheet piles with a width of 1 meter and 2 meters as retaining walls and for soil volume ranges from 20 KN/M3-30 KN/M3 while the height of sheet piles is 1 meter - 4 meters. It was found that the length of the sheet pile planted did not affect changes in the volume of the soil while the thickness of the wood did.
