Abstract:In this case study of a soil nail retaining wall, the measured horizontal displacement is of the order of 0.023% H, where H is the excavation depth, while the two-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis suggests horizontal displacements of the order of at least 0.5% H. This study aims to understand which parameters influence such displacements through a Sensitivity Analysis. In addition, the study compares results obtained through two-dimensional and three-dimensional FEM analyses for this case. It co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
