Abstract EN
Accidents involving vehicles crashing into reinforced retaining walls are increasing because of the increased construction of reinforced retaining walls on roads.
Unlike a normal retaining wall, areinforced retaining wall is not one united body but is made up of blocks.
Hence, a reinforced wall can break down when a vehicle crashes into it.
The behavior of such a wall during vehicle collisiondepends upon the reinforcement material used for its construction, its design, and the method of the construction.
In this study, the behavior of a reinforced retaining wall was analyzed while changing thereinforcement spacing using LS-DYNA, a general finite-element program.
Eight tons of truck weight was used for the numerical analysis model.
The behavior of a reinforced retaining wall under variable reinforcement spacing and positioning was analyzed.
The results indicated that the reinforcement material was an important resistance factor against external collision load.
