A Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Cantilever Reinforced Concrete Retaining Walls
Reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall (CRW) with predetermined height and backfill slope is designed using a reliability-based optimization. FORM is applied to calculate the reliability index and to estimate the failure probability of the cantilever reinforced retaining wall. The formulation for computing the system reliability index incorporates six global stability limit state functions pertaining to different modes of failure in addition to 14 internal strength limit states. The uncertainties in the properties of backfill soil, foundation soil, retaining wall materials, and dimensions are modeled as random variables following suitable probability distribution functions. The analysis also takes into account the established correlation between different random variables. An RBO (reliability-based optimization) is then applied to determine the optimal design parameters. The design optimization is calibrated to a target reliability index that is acceptable by the related code standards.
