ABSTRACT

The article deals with a calculation method and examples of application of a rapidly erected retaining wall design. The retaining wall has an increased resistance to dynamic loads, aesthetic appeal, and relatively low cost. The retaining structure is a stepped semi-gravitational structure made of blocks filled with soil. The joint work of the blocks is ensured by the forces of dry friction due to the dense placement of the filler soil inside each block, as well as due to the formation of a compacted wall base on the slope being strengthened. The task of constructing a simulation method of retaining structures consisting of blocks having no rigid structural connection and filled with a granular body is set. The given technique can be applied to any retaining walls of a similar design solution. Examples of constructing such walls in the climatic conditions of the Russian Far East are given.
