AbstractA reasonable method is proposed to calculate the active earth pressure of finite soils based on the drum deformation mode of the flexible retaining wall close to the basement’s outer wall. The flexible retaining wall with cohesionless sand is studied, and the ultimate failure angle of finite soils close to the basement’s outer wall is obtained using the Coulomb theory. Soil arch theory is led to get the earth pressure coefficient in the subarea using the trace line of minor principal stress of circular arc after stress deflection. The soil layers at the top and bottom part of the retaining wall are restrained when the drum deformation occurs, and the soil layers are in a non-limit state. The linear relationship between the wall movement’s magnitude and the mobilization of the internal friction angle and the wall friction anger is presented. The level layer analysis method is modified to propose the resultant force of active earth pressure, the action point’s height, and the pressure distribution. Model tests are carried out to emulate the process of drum deformation and soil rupture with limited width. Through image analysis, it is found that the failure angle of soil within the limited width is larger than that of infinite soil. With the increase of the aspect ratio, the failure angle gradually reduces and tends to be constant. Compared with the test results, it is shown that the horizontal earth pressure reduces with the reduction of the aspect ratio within critical width, and the resultant force decreases with the increase of the limit state region under the same ratio. The middle part of the distribution curve is concave. The active earth pressure strength decreases less than Coulomb’s value, the upper and lower soil layers are in the non-limit state, and the active earth pressure strength is more than Coulomb’s value.

Construction failure may occur due to various things. One of them is used a shallow foundation for a retaining wall. It can possible, but consider environmental condition where there is a heavy flow of water along the wall. Therefore it is necessary to use a deep foundation. Pile are printed concrete products. It is used to support a load and distribute the load to the subgrade. This pile is also equipped with iron reinforcement so that it can guarantee the quality and strength. This calculation is using a closed-form solution. The software used is P-Y Wall which fixes a flexible retaining wall or pile/drill wall. This program will calculate pile deflection, shear forces, and bending moments. In this assessment, variations were made relating to the distance between the piles and the values of L1 and L2. L1 shows the free long pile and L2 shows the long pile entering the ground. Variation 3A with the distance between the piles 100 cm and the length of the pile 15 m. The average value of L1 was 10.8 m for the value and the value of L2 was 4.2 m. Both of deflection and moment can fulfill the qualification, the value is 9,1 m (from 10,8 m) dan 320 kNm (from 399 kN/m).

Abutment bridge is a building under the bridge located on both sides of the bridge end. The process of building a bridge abutment often requires excavation to the depth of the abutment base so that the abutment reinforcement and casting work can be carried out. In deep excavation work, each side of the excavation needs to be installed in a flexible retaining wall type (plaster) first. In this study, CCSP stability analysis was carried out on earth excavation work for abutment bridge BH 1751. The calculation method starts from determining the lateral earth pressure acting on the soil, then determining the depth of CCSP planting that is able to produce CCSP stability on the rolling force. The analysis shows that the depth of CCSP planting that meets the safety requirements of the rolling force is 20 m

This paper presents design of a self-stabilizing retaining diaphragm wall, using conventional analytical calculation method based on subgrade reaction coefficient and by numerical method with finite elements method FEM can lead to various uncertainties. Hence, engineers have to calibrate a computational strategy to minimize these uncertainties due to numerical modeling. For both two methods, this paper presents various simulations with the structure installed into the supported ground without surcharge. For the first method, the analysis has investigate the influence of main factors such as the wall rigidity, the different stages of excavation, the Young’s modulus, the cohesion and internal friction’s angle of the soil. For the FEM method, two constitutive soil models are used such as Mohr-Coulomb MC and hardening soil model HSM. In case of the last model HSM, the variation of required and additional factors for the model was investigated as well as secant modulus stiffness Eref50, unloading and reloading stiffness modulus Eur, power factor m and Over-consolidated ratio OCR. The results from of the various simulations carried out are confronted with other experimental and numerical results [4]. Avery good coherence results are showed.
