Abstract

Finite element analyses of anchor wall behaviour in loose and dense sand were carried out using the variable elastic soil model and Lade's elasto-plastic soil model. The results were compared with data from centrifugal tests on models of lm high anchor walls. The variable elastic model, incorporating parameters derived from triaxial compression tests, yielded results which matched observation most closely. In general the soil models considered overpredicted observed strength and stiffness, particularly for walls in dense sand.
