Abstract:

This paper provides a case study of various types of retaining structures behaviour under seismic condition and effect of earth pressure on their stability. In order to improve the stability of the structure it is necessary to study the effect of various loadings in details. Mostly the failure occurs during the application of loads like self weight, weight of backfill, earth pressure, and water pressure including hydrodynamic pressure .Due to this effects there is a need to understand the behaviour of retaining structures and check their stability as per IS 6512:1984.And hence the stability calculations by considering various parameters are carried out. The stresses at the foundation level are also checked as per IS 12720:2004.In this paper mainly the stability analysis of Divide wall and Guide wall are done.

Keywords:

Retaining structure, seismic effect, stability, earth pressure, Dividewall, Guide wall.
