The computation method of retaining wall reliability indexes is intruduced, and the analysis model of gravity retaining wall reliability is established in this paper. And the reliability of gravity retaining wall reliability is analyzeda using the center collocation method of second order moment. Based on the comparison of the calculation result of safety coefficient method and that of reliability analysis method, the safety factor method can't correctly reflect the reliability of gravity retaining wall, but the center collocation method of second order moment can correctly reflect the reliability of gravity retaining wall.

In this paper, a study was conducted regarding the stability of a binary airfoil under stochastic disturbances with feedback control. A new stochastic controller has been developed and investigated via Monte Carlo simulation. In order to design the new controller, the original system is transformed to the second-order moment one. Then the optimal control parameters can be obtained by searching for the effectual control parameters in the second-order moment system. Finally, the numerical simulations are included to visualize the good performances in flutter suppression.

Using the frame supporting structure of pre-stressed anchor bolt seismic strengthening technology reinforced the instability of gravity retaining wall. Earth pressure of retaining wall in seismic reinforcement after shall take between active and static earth pressure for the form of the distribution . In this paper, based on the limit equilibrium theory, and the whole stability for retaining walls is analysis, the theoretical formula of the stability safety factor between stability against slope and overturning safety factor is derived. By calculation and comparative analysis with an example, the stability safety factor of gravity retaining wall with introducing this strengthening technology is improved obviously. Keywords: frame anchor structure; seismic strengthening; anti-slip and anti-overturning; stability coefficient;

Geotechnical engineering involves various types of uncertainties, as it always deals with highly variable natural materials. Reliability-based design/analysis can play at least a complementary role in the design approach. In this paper, reliability analysis of anti-sliding of retaining wall with the parameters treated as random variables is performed based on the concept of random fields. Both friction angle and cohesion of soils near the interface along the base of retaining wall are treated as Gaussian fields. The spatial correlation and cross correlation of the variables are calculated by a specific covariance function and the seismic loads act on retaining walls are also taken into account. Examples are illustrated to verify the accuracy of the proposed approach. It is found from the numerical results that the spatial correlation of shear strength has an important influence on the probability of the anti-sliding failure of retaining wall. Moreover, the numerical results obtained from the proposed method are in full agreement with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. Therefore, the proposed method provides a new view to study the stability of a retaining wall subjected to seismic loads.

In order to ensure the security of gravity retaining wall in the high fill subgrade, the design of gravity retaining wall with anchors is proposed,the characteristic of the new wall is that comment anchors are added to the traditional gravity retaining wall,by friction anchors provide lateral pull to the wall so the stability of the new wall is improved. Because of the constraints of anchors, the lateral free deformation is influenced and the soil pressure distribution is very complicated, field tests showed that soil pressure distribution is nonlinear and pressure concentrate in anchoring position. In order to reveal the supporting mechanism of retaining wall and propose the soil pressure formula, the model test of anchor retaining wall is made and numerical simulation is done. The results show that soil pressure appears incresent above the anchor and decreasing below the anchor, the soil pressre also grew larger away from the anchor proximal in the horizontal direction.

There is uncertainty during analysis the stability of karst roof under pile tip. The interval numbers are used to express the calculation parameters. Secondly, the limit equilibrium analysis model of karst roof under pile tip is presented based on the present study. Thirdly, the performance function is suggested to evaluate the reliability of the stability of karst roof under pile tip. The non-probabilistic reliability analysis method for stability of karst roof under pile tip is finally founded. This method is proved to be rational and feasible by engineering case analysis.

Force behaviors of the loading platform of rotating stereo garages is analyzed, equations describing the load capacity and the deformation limit state are proposed for the key sections by applying the second-order moment into the reliability analysis of the main beam. Considering random parameters subject to normal distribution, a reliability model of the main beam of the loading platform is set up based on multiple failure modes and the reliability is analyzed and calculated by using second-order moment. Simulation results show that the reliability model is significant to guide designing on the reliability of rotating stereo garages and improves rotating stereo garages.


Gravity retaining wall are structures used to retain the soil by its weight .the stability of such type of walls depend on the magnitude and direction of the horizontal forces exerted by soil . it found that there is many factors affect the value and the acting point of acting. Based on this, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of water table, external vertical loads, sloping of the backfill and the type of the backfill soil. It show that, the value of the horizontal soil pressure increase from147KN/m' on dry soil to about 307 KN/m' as the soil become saturated.also,effect of external loads are studied , and show its increase the total horizontal forces of the soil pressure. Sloping the backfill soil behind the retaining wall also great effect on the earth pressure. The type of the backfill soil behind the retaining wall also investigated and found its effect of the earth forces.
