Cumulative Effects of Soil Nailing under Cyclic Load Considering Bottom Boundary Conditions of Facing
Publication: Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering
Abstract
Based on laboratory study, cumulative effect of soil nailing under cyclic load is studied. The cyclic load is produced by a multi-channel load system, from experimental results, displacement of facing increases considerably after a certain load number, then keep almost constant, which indicates attenuation of accumulation effect. Thereafter, in order to compare with laboratory results, through ADINA system, based on Mohr-Coulomb criteria, a plain strain finite element model(FEM) is built. From both experimental and calculation results, considering different stiffness and boundary constraints at the bottom of facing, displament of facing is smaller with concrete facing(greater stiffness), which is than with wood facing(smaller stiffness), similarly, displacement of facing is smaller with fixed bottom than with free one, moreover, load frequency has pronounced influence on displacement of facing.
