ANALYSIS & DESIGN OF REINFORCED EARTH SLOPE IN COHESION LESS SOIL

Abstract

Nicobar Islands with its terrain of brilliant diversity is of remarkable importance to the government of India due to its strategic place. Existing street infrastructure has come to be antique and deteriorated because of common calamities. Subsequently a brand-new course for transportation is being developed inside the areas which would not contact the coastal ends. The proposed road connects some parts of Nicobar Island. On this assignment our essential aim is to analyze and design an appropriate retaining structure for bridge infrastructure proposed to be built along a river. The preserving wall could be designed as Counterfort Retaining Wall, and Reinforced Earth Slope. Even as there are numerous masses appearing on the wall, the primary one is lateral earth strain which absolutely relies upon on angle of friction, cohesion, and density of the soil. The safety factors taken in consideration are sliding, overturning, subsiding and seismic zones which facilitates to examine the sturdiness, load bearing capability and structural integrity. Concluding with a value evaluation stating more suitable and economical solution for the region.
