Abstract

Investigation and evaluation of damages to surrounding structures and also estimation of rupture levels by considering the amount of deformations and the amount of adjacent gates are important issues in the nailing system in urban areas. In this research, we tried to evaluate the axial force of the nails and the deformation in concave and convex dams; in sandy and clay soils. In this regard, numerical modeling is carried out using the Abaqus CAE software in the soil environment and parametric studies are carried out for different corner angles in the excavation under the service load. The results of this study indicate the effect of concave cortical deterioration and the damaging effect of the convex corners, which is in contrast to the concave hedge, in gondolas with sandy soil as well as clayey soil. The maximum axial force of the nails in the clay soil is less than that of the sandy soil, which decreases with the approach to the hollow corner. For maximum seating and horizontal displacement of the Goodwall wall, there is also a turning point between the angular angles of 130 ° to 150 °, with a good turnaround. By comparing and analyzing land surface levels and rupture levels, we will find that the maximum level of earth's summation in sandy soils will be the highest level of rupture, and in clay soils, ground-level landings in the location of critical burst surface changes It is noteworthy.
