Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear finite-element analysis is used to study the behavior of soil-nailed walls constructed under a bridge abutment built on piles. The numerical model simulates the piles and the nails with ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element analysis is used to study the influence of various design decisions for tieback walls. The numerical model simulates the soldier piles and the tendon bonded length of the anchors ...
