Abstract:Through a series of model tests accomplished by Particle Image Velocimetry analyses, this study presents the visualization of the displacement field of the narrow soil behind retaining structures under translational mode. The progressive development of failure mechanisms and active earth pressure are measured in the process of tests. Finite element limit analyses are supplementally carried out to investigate and verify the ultimate failure mechanism and active earth pressure acting on retaining structures as t… Show more
