Geotechnical Solution - Retaining Structures
Retaining structures
The calculation of retaining walls by means of 2D non-linear beam elements takes into account:
- The construction process of the structure (non linear construction sequence
analysis). It is possible to define the excavation level (or back fill) for
each calculation step.
- The soil-structure interaction by the means of contact
elements that are automatically placed along the structure by the program.
- The existence of anchorages, joints (linking two sheet piles),layered soils,
applied loads, etc. with any ANSYS or CivilFEM cross section.
Earth pressure
utility.
- Apply pressures and forces corresponding to active and passive pressure and soil weight on the selected elements.
It is possible to simulate and
analyze the construction process of two sheet piles simultaneously.
Any cross
section can be used.
The reinforcement of the retaining walls can be later
designed by CivilFEM.
Code checking and design can be performed.
