  • Modified method for cantilever retaining structures [Elektronski vir]
    Škrabl, Stanislav ; Vrecl-Kojc, Helena
    The paper represents a modified method for analysis and design of cantilever retaining structures in two-dimensional conditions. It is based on the limit state method, but it uses some additional ... conditions of interaction between the retaining structure and the ground referring to the distribution of activated influences and resistances. The general shape of the proposed modified net pressures distribution at the limit equilibrium state gives the great benefit, which is shown in the analysis of structures in layered ground,embedded in frictional and cohesive materials, and in the possibility of considering the influence of surcharge loadings on the active or passive side of the retaining structure. The proposed method gives results which are in good agreement with FEM results based on elasto-plastic interaction analyses; meanwhile the entire passive resistance considered in classical methods for retaining structure analyses is actually not activated. The greatest differences are exhibited for structures embedded in soils with high shear strength if higher portions of friction between the structure and the ground are considered.
