Finite element analyses of gravity earth retaining structures founded on soil
The safety of gravity earth retaining structures is usually evaluated with regard to: (1) overturning about the toe, (2) sliding along the base and (3) bearing failure of the foundation. Conventional equilibrium methods are utilized in these analyses, which are performed using assumed earth loads ba...
