Modellversuche zum Erd und Auflastdruck auf Winkelsttzwnde Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Designing the sections of cantilever retaining walls, it is required to know the earth pressure acting directly on the wall stem and the load pressure acting directly on the wall heel. Large scale model tests are presented, which aim to determine the development of the contact pressures due to dead load of the backfill as well as due to uniform surface loads. The model tests simulate the construction as well as the backfilling process. Wall geometry and subsoil flexibility are varied. The principal behaviour of cantilever retaining walls is presented. The test results are used to derive basic properties of the earth pressure and the load pressure. Ernst & Sohn Verlag fr Architektur und technische Wissenschaften GmbH & Co. KG.
