Abstract
In this study, numerical analysis was performed to reproduce the sequential behavior of an anchored retaining structure in an urban area. The numerical analysis was verified through comparisons between the prediction and a field failure case. Emphasis was placed on the wall behavior and the location of the sliding surface based on elasto-plastic method and shear strength reduction FEM method. Through the comparison study, it was found that coupled analysis using shear strength reduction method can be effectively used to perform back calculation analysis to find a critical surface in the anchored wall structures, whereas uncoupled analysis by elasto-plastic method can be applicable to the preliminary design of a retaining wall with a suitable safety factor.
