Determination of soil lateral pressure loads on a retaining wall taking into consideration its displacements and deformations

Earlier at the 13th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Delhi, 1994 (10) and at the European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Copenhagen, 1995 ( 9 ) as well as in the papers (4,6) the substantiation and main basics of the new kinematic model describing interaction between the components of the system “retaining wall — soil medium” with a consideration of the mixed stressed state of soil medium that acts upon the structure have been reported and published. This report reviews some methods for practical implementation of the developed model in design and technical operation of the facilities that include retaining walls as well as the results of their application (based on retaining walls of berthing structures). Au début a la 13eme International Conférence de la Sol Mécanique et Foundation Ingenierie, Delhi, 1994(10) et a Europeen Conférence de la Sol Mécanique et Foundation Ingenierie, Copenhagen, 1995( 9 ) aussi en papiers (4, 6) la substantiation et la principale base a nouveau kinematic modèle decrire la interaction entre consistantes du systéme “ mur conserve — sol milieu” avec de consideration son deplasement et deformation.
