Studies on the Behavior of Gabion Wall Subjected to Lateral Monotonic Loading
This paper presents the experimental investigation results on the behavior of gabion wall subjected to lateral monotonic loading. Behavior of reinforced concrete retaining wall due to lateral loading could be significantly improved by replacing concrete wall by gabion wall. Diameter of mesh wire, spacing between the wires and void ratio of infill material and tensile strength of the wire significantly influence the behavior of gabion walls. Single twisted wire mesh was used as outer cage, and stones and soil were used as infill materials for the construction of gabion wall. Concrete reaction retaining wall was constructed in the laboratory to support the gabion wall and to resist the reaction of load applied on the gabion wall. The main objective of experimental work is to study the behavior of gabion wall having soil and stone as infill material subjected to lateral loading. Lateral monotonic loading was applied, and the strain in the mesh wire was measured using vernier caliper for each load increment. The test results included experimental load-strain curve, load-deformation curve, H/Δ ratio, and moment–curvature characteristics. Gabion wall having stone as infill material showed an increase in resistance to deformation ranging from 30 to 40% compared to gabion wall having soil as infill material.
