Random Finite Element Analysis and Random Factor response Mechanism for Geocell-reinforced Soil Retaining Walls by ZHANG Bingbing, SONG Fei

“…For this reason, a finite element analysis method based on random field theory is proposed in this paper, which can more realistically reflect the non-homogeneous characteristics of the reinforced soil retaining wall system by introducing a spatial random distribution model of the soil parameters and the mechanical properties of the geocells, so as to more accurately assess the influence of the spatial variability of the material parameters on the deformation behavior and stability of the retaining wall.MethodsFirstly, in parameter random field modeling, an innovative combination of Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and exponential autocorrelation function is used to construct parameter random fields. …”
