Comparative Analysis on Different Types of Anchor Reinforcing Gravity Retaining Wall

Abstract

A new type of gravity retaining wall combining with anchor is developed to support higher embankment. The retaining wall has the advantage of high safety, lateral deformation small, wide applicable range and low requirements for the foundation bearing capacity. The pressure distributions of gravity retaining wall with anchor have changed a lot. The change will have a significant impact on structures. In order to reveal the gravity retaining wall combining anchor pressure distributions, numerical simulation was done. The result shows that it has no obvious differences to its force state when retaining wall is reinforced with horizontal and oblique anchors, The former is applicable to the new embankment retaining wall support and the latter is applicable to the original retaining wall reinforcement.
