The plate-chair type retaining structure, which developed from h type anti-slide pile, has the characteristics of high stiffness and small deformations, and is suitable for subgrade retaining engineering on high slopes. The difficulty is that the landslide thrust distribution is not clear and the action of soil between the front and back row piles is not definite. First, a theoretical method of calculating the earth pressure acting on the structure is presented based on analyzing its carrying mechanism. Then an example is analyzed using the method. Finally, on the base of constructing a three-dimensional numerical simulation model of soil-structure interaction using ABAQUS, a validation and comparison between the theoretical calculation and numerical simulation is carried out. The result shows that the method is simple, safer, suitable for designing and can be used in the similar engineering.

Lateral Earth Pressure

Model tests were performed to investigate the lateral earth pressure acting on the retaining structure adjacent to both natural ground (NG) and composite foundation (CFRLP), which were supported with rigid-flexible and long-short piles. Two testing procedures, namely, applying a load to the foundation and rotating the retaining structure along its toe, were considered. The results indicate that the additional lateral earth pressure acting on the retaining structure adjacent to the CFRLP is less than that of the NG in the depth of the reinforcement area strengthened by flexible piles. Compared with NG, the CFRLP yielded a smaller normalized height of application of the lateral earth pressure, suggesting that the CFRLP blocked the horizontal diffusion of the load and had a strong ability to transfer the surcharge load to the deep soil. When rotating the retaining structure, the lateral earth pressure acting on the upper part of the retaining structure experienced limited reduction once the displacement at the top of the retaining structure was greater than 8 mm, whereas the pressure acting on the lower part of the retaining structure continued to decrease with increasing displacement. In addition, a three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) was used to investigate the influence of the pile parameter and the wall-soil friction angle on the additional lateral earth pressure.

Support Force

Due to the poor stability of the loose sandy soil layer, if the support force is not properly controlled during the construction process of the shield tunnel using the earth pressure balance method, it is easy to cause the ground to collapse or uplift. Therefore, understanding the support force of the excavation surface of shield tunneling in sandy soil layer is very vital to ensure the stability of the excavation surface. Firstly, it is assumed that the damaged soil is a three-dimensional wedge and a modified three-dimensional wedge in the active and passive failure modes, respectively. The shallow soil pressure theory and the soil plastic limit equilibrium theory are derived by analyzing the stress distribution on the damaged soil. The equation for revealing the inner essence between the support force of the shield excavation surface and excavation surface displacement under the condition of sand-covered soil is used. Secondly, the numerical simulation method analyzes the displacement of the excavation surface when the support force changes under different working conditions, and the relationship curve between the excavation surface support force and the shield tunneling displacement is obtained. The comparison and analysis between the numerical simulation calculation and the theoretical analysis indicate that the deduced calculation equation for the excavation surface support force based on the displacement earth pressure is reasonable.

The Difference

The demand for specific earth retaining wall methods is increasing along with the advancement and overcrowding of underground space use such as the presence of adjacent structures in an urban area. To cope with this, the method named earth stepped-twin retaining wall is increasingly being applied. However, there is a concern about the workplace if the earth pressure causes a heaving and pressing phenomenon from both ends of the retaining wall in the earth stepped-twin retaining wall. Therefore, we proposed the application of an anchor method that contains the inner and outer walls by using numerical simulation. The effects of the difference in soil properties, the horizontal distance between the outer and inner walls, and the depth of the outer wall embedment on the anchor were investigated. The results of this study show that the wall deflection of the inner wall could improve by adopting the anchor support. Besides, it was found that the inner wall can be efficiently suppressed by adopting the hybrid system with anchors and struts according to the soil properties, horizontal distance, and the depth of the outer wall.

Incremental Step

Incremental method, as one of the practical calculation methods in retaining structure design of foundation pit, has been widely used. When incremental method is applied, the earth pressure, acting on the retaining structure on each incremental step, is considered as static earth pressure. Actually, the state of earth pressure changes constantly with the increase of soil displacement in the process of excavation. This paper introduces the relation of displacement and earth pressure based on the soil stress-strain state, and makes corrections for the earth pressure of the incremental method. By comparing with the measured data of the engineering, the calculation results, which consider earth pressure modification, are in good line with the practical engineering condition. The method in this paper can provide certain reference for related engineering design.

Stress States

To solve the Earth pressure problems in practical engineering, such as retaining walls and foundation pits, we derive active and passive Earth pressure formulas in accordance with the relationship between intermediate principal stress and excavation under three-dimensional stress states. The formulas are derived on the basis of the Mohr–Coulomb, spatially mobilized plane (SMP), σ 3 SMP, Lade–Duncan, axisymmetric compression- (AC-) SMP strength, and generalized Mises (Gen-Mises) criteria and then extended to clay. We also compare the calculated Earth pressure with the measured data. Results indicate that the Earth pressure considering medium principal stress contribution under a three-dimensional stress state is consistent with the actual engineering. The calculated active Earth pressure in the Mohr–Coulomb strength criterion is larger, and the passive Earth pressure is smaller than the practical one because the intermediate principal stress effect is not considered. The calculated results of the SMP, σ 3 SMP, Lade–Duncan, AC-SMP strength, and Gen-Mises criteria are close to the measured data, among which the result of the Gen-Mises criterion is closer. The Earth pressure calculated using the Lade–Duncan criterion is no longer appropriate to describe the Earth pressure under medium principal stress condition in this study. The results of this study have theoretical significance for retaining structure design under a three-dimensional stress state.

Based on the actual project, the influence of geogrid on the stability of the retaining wall of the single-layer masonry reinforced retaining wall is studied through field test and finite element software ABAQUS numerical simulation. The influence of geogrid on the stability of the retaining wall was determined by analyzing the changes in the pressure of the backfill, the displacement of the retaining wall and the strain of the geogrid, and changing the length and spacing of the geogrid through the controlled variable method. The results show that the geogrid can limit the horizontal displacement of the soil, balance the earth pressure, and improve the overall stability of the retaining wall. By increasing the length of the geogrid and reducing the distance of the geogrid, the design of the retaining wall is optimized, which has good economic and time benefits.

The double-row piles retaining structure (DRPRS) is widely applied in the excavation engineering, but its calculation theory is immature and in appropriate. Based on the theory of earth pressure distribution, the distribution characteristics of earth pressure is analyzed to different layout form, and the general formula of earth pressure is derived. From the perspectives of the morphology of slip surface, linear slip surface morphology and broken-line slip surface morphology are proposed based on the feature of the DRPRS. A new calculation model is proposed combining the earth pressure and slip surface morphology. On this basis, one example is used to analyze the force and deformation mechanism of the DRPRS in detail. The research results can guide the engineering practices and promote the development of calculation theory for the DRPRS.
