ZHOU Jian, LUO Xiao-bo. Structural computation of circular retaining structure using method of equivalent retaining of arch effect[J]. 2003, 24(2).DOI:
A method of equivalent retaining of arch effect for computing inner force and displacement of circular retaining structure is presented. An equivalent retaining structure of arch effect is got based on the solution of cylinder under uniform distributed loading in Mechanics of Elasticity and then this equivalent retaining structure is applied to an elastic foundation-beams to compute inner forces and displacements of the circular retaining structure. Engineering examples illustrate the feasibility and validity of this method.
