Abstract

In this study, the effects of soil spatial variability on the behaviour of the embankment supported with a combined retaining structure (CRS) were investigated. The numerical model of the CRS embankment was established and validated with the field data. An application programming interface (API) was developed to deal with the data exchanging issue between the numerical model and the spatial variability characterization model. Based on the verified numerical model and the API, the probabilistic analysis with 500 Monte Carlo simulations was automatically computed. Three influencing factors of the retained soil (the mean of the friction angle, the variation of the friction angle and the vertical correlation length of the random field) are analysed by parametric analysis. The results show that the vertical correlation length of the random field is most important in the earth pressure calculation process, while the mean of the friction angle is the factor with least impact. On the whole, the spatial variability of soil properties has minimal impact on the distribution and magnitude of earth pressure behind the retaining structure.
