Introduction to Rigidly Framed Earth Retaining Structures (RFERS)

Aboumoussa, Walid / Iskander, Magued

Structures placed on hillsides often employ the building frame to retain earth on one side only and derive their resistance to lateral earth pressure from rigid frame action, without the presence of any other restraining elements or forces against lateral displacement. The relationship between temperature and earth pressure acting on rigidly framed earth-retaining structures (RFERS), subject to wide temperature variations, is explored in this book through a 4.5 year monitoring program of an instrumented RFERS, as well as numerical analyses and parametric studies. The study demonstrates the important role of thermal cycles on earth pressure and structural integrity.
