STUDY ON DESIGN METHOD FOR LARGE-SCALE CYLINDRICAL EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURE : Part 2 Analysis of a large-scale cylindrical earth retaining structure

Abstract

The previous thesis (Part 1) has presented the features of behavior of a large-scale cylindrical earth retaining structure recognized through the various field measurements during excavation work. Part 1 also expressed the distinctive influence on the retaining wall behavior generated by variations of retaining wall temperatures in addition to lateral pressures. In this thesis (Part 2), analytical study of the behavior of the retaining structure is carried out from the various aspects based on the distinctive influence described in Part 1. As a result, Part 2 presents the practical analysis method for a cylindrical earth retaining structure influenced by the wall temperature variation as well as the lateral pressures and the study results of behaviors based on the practical analysis method and the measurement results.
