| Abstract | A finite element computer program available at AIT
is used to study the effect of soil-structure interaction on
the behavior of an anchored bulkhead wall embedded in
stratified soil, namely soft clay overlying medium/ stiff clay.
The soil is considered to have elasto-plastic behavior. The
effects of various parameters were investigated. The results
of the FEM are also compared with those from the anal yses
using the conventional methods, namely, the free earth method,
the free earth method with Rowe moment reduction, the fixed
earth method and the Bowles subgrade reaction method. The
results of the FEM analysis, which directly account for the
effect of soil-structure interaction, indicate that the
conventional methods tend to give conservative designs of the
wall member. The FEM analysis yields results comparable to
those observed in two case histories. |
