“…Recent numerical studies of the dynamic behavior of embedded retaining walls, both cantilevered [10,11] and with one level of support [12][13][14], have shown interesting aspects related to the soil-structure interaction and the constitutive modelling of the mechanical behavior of the soil under cyclic loading. In addition, Rainieri et al [15][16][17] carried out a series of researches based on the Operational Model Analysis method, through refining the embedded retaining wall model by optimizing the correlation between experimental and numerical estimate of the dynamic properties of the soilwall system and made some encouraging results.…”

Large deformation of slope caused by earthquake can lead to the loss of stability of slope and its retaining structures. At present, there have been some research achievements about the slope reinforcement of stabilizing piles. However, due to the complexity of the structural system, the coupling relationship between soil and pile is still not well understood. Hence it is of great necessity to study its dynamic characteristics further. In view of this, a numerical model was established by FLAC 3D in this paper, and the deformation and stress nephogram of sheet pile wall in peak ground motion acceleration (PGA) at 0.1 g, 0.2 g, and 0.4 g were obtained. Through the analysis, some conclusions were obtained. Firstly, based on the nephogram of motion characteristics and the positions of the slip surface and the retaining wall, the reinforced slope can be divided into 6 sections approximatively, namely, the sliding body parts of A, B, C, D, and E and the bedrock part F. Secondly, the deformation and stress distributions of slope reinforced by sheet pile wall were carefully studied. Based on the results of deformation calculation from time history analysis, the interaction force between structure and soil can be estimated by the difference of peak horizontal displacements, and the structure-soil coupling law under earthquake can be studied by this approach.

“…Various dynamic soil-water coupled analyses based on porous media theory (Biot, 1962) have been proposed since the 1980's (Zienkiewicz et al, 1978;Ghaboussi and Dikmen, 1978;Ishihara and Towhata, 1980;Zienkiewicz and Shiomi, 1984;Prevost, 1985;Finn et al, 1986;Iai and Kameoka, 1993;Oka et al, 1994;Fukutake and Ohtsuki, 1995). Although some of these took the degree of saturation into account and were therefore capable of were capable of describing unsaturated soil (Meroi and Schre‰er, 1995;Uzuoka et al, 2001), they did not consider the response of pore air pressure explicitly.…”

“…Manyˆnite element studies on the ground-structure system subjected to earthquake motion have been conducted as well, e.g., bridge and pile foundations by Kimura and Zhang (2000) and Zhang and Kimura (2002), the simulation of statnamic load tests by Kimura and Boonyatee (2002), quay walls and seawalls by Iai and Kameoka (1993), Kanatani et al (2001) and Dakoulas and Gazetas (2005) and tunnels by Khoshnoudian and Shahrour (2002). It is very important for such groundstructure problems to improve the modeling of the dynamic and nonlinear interaction between the ground and the structures.…”

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the numerical methods related to geotechnical problems, most of which were reported in papers appearing in Soils and Foundations. The reason why most of the reviewed papers are concentrated in Soils and Foundations is that if we were to include papers appearing in other journals in theˆeld of geotechnical engineering, closely related to numerical methods, e.g., Computers and Geotechnics, Int. J. Numer. Anal. Meth. Geomech., etc., we would have to deal with almost all the papers in those journals. Firstly, we present a description of the current status of the numerical methods, and then give a brief review of the literature covering several topics in geotechnical applications. The scope of the review is limited, and thus, the authors do not profess to cover the entire range of literature.
