Abstract


The design of a retaining structure requires mastery of the laws of application of the forces and constraints acting on the structure and the calculation of the resulting constraints to ensure balance. This balance is partially guaranteed by adequate sizing to verify progressively the stability in the face of three types of instability (sliding, overturning and rupture of the ground under the foundation). If this is not the case, the check is recalculated. Given the complexity of the laws and the multitude of equations used, a mediocrity of the numerical software used in this field has been noted. Thus, this work aims to create a help tool to assist users (such as students and office engineers) in obtaining as quickly as possible an appropriate sizing proposal that ensures stability against sliding and overturning and prevents the foundation from warping and rupturing, depending on the properties of the soil and the relief of the slope. The validation of the model, designed with an expert system generator and using the C++ programming language, is based on a comparison with the analytical method. A good correlation has been obtained with a minimal difference range proportional to each parameter processed. The results have been made drawing curves of the three safety factors and their intersection possible to delimit the safety zone. As a result, the tool allows users to focus on the safety margin of the retaining wall and choose the best element dimensions.
