Flexible Earth Retaining Structures: Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.14195/2184-8394_44_3Abstract
Using a mathematical model based on the finite element method, the three-dimensional equilibrium induced by excavations supported by flexible earth-retaining structures, is studied.
On the basis of the results, the errors associated with plane strain analyses are emphasized.
