Abstract

A numerical investigation into the undrained behaviour of vertical anchor walls, as used to provide the horizontal support for anchored sheetpile retaining walls, is described. Finite element analyses, using a variable elastic soil model, were carried out to examine the influence of depth of embedment on the behaviour of 1m high anchor walls in saturated clay backfill. The influence of undrained shear strength on the load/displacement relationships was also investigated. Reasonable agreement was found with simple limit state values for both shallow and deep anchor walls, and with some previously reported research.
