What is The Effect of Interface Properties on Retaining Wall Behaviour about?
A series of finite element analyses have been undertaken to investigate the effects of interface properties on the behaviour of a vertical retaining wall and the deformation of the ground around it. The boundary between a rigid embedded wall and the soil is modelled with zero thickness interface elements. Uniform translation of the wall has been studied. The analyses show the predicted limiting active and passive pressure on the wall are dependent on the maximum wall friction angle and are in reasonable agreement with accepted approximate analytical solutions. The limiting pressure is independent of the stiffness and dilation properties of the interface elements. The dilation properties of the interface have a significant effect on the ground surface deformation around the wall.
