Predicting the performance of retaining structure under seismic loads by PLAXIS software

Abstract: The dynamic response of the retaining structures is a complex issue, and a major challenge in their design, especially under seismic loading conditions. So a reliable and efficient solution following a computational approach, closer to reality, is required to obtain satisfactory results. Hence, this study came to clarify the effectiveness of the PLAXIS 3D program in predicting the performance, accuracy, and reliability of retaining walls. A case study of placing compressed materials as the backfill of the retaining wall soil is analyzed in this study using PLAXIS 3D software. The results are compared with the experimental results and the results of PLAXIS 2D software. The purpose is to predict the performance of retaining walls under seismic loads. As a result, the research stated that the displacement with time was less than the results recorded depending on the program PLAXIS 2D. According to the comparison of the different analytical tools, the researchers concluded that the adoption of the PLAXIS 3D program gives results that are closer to reality, more accurate, and more reliable.
