| dc.description.abstract | Gabion walls, composed of double-twisted galvanized steel mesh cages filled with rocks, are widely used in civil engineering as retaining structures for slopes, allowing for steeper inclinations than the natural slope of the soil, optimizing space and ensuring construction safety. This study aimed to analyze the influence of differents soil parameters on the design of these gravity walls, using the Geo5 software (2020) to verify their ultimate limit states according to Eurocode 7, with a focus on global stability through different methods. The analysis involved the variation of the following parameters: foundation soil cohesion, backfill soil friction angle, and backfill soil type. It was found that cohesion and friction angle significantly influence shear strength, with more favorable parameters resulting in greater structural stability. Additionally, it is noted that a higher backfill soil friction angle also affects the foundation by causing variation in the eccentricity values of the reaction force. The Fellenius/Petterson method (1955) proved to be conservative due to its simplifications, yielding significantly lower safety factors compared to other methods. In contrast, the Janbu (1954) and Morgenstern-Price (1965) methods demonstrated more consistent and closely aligned results in all analyses. These findings underscore the importance of a detailed and accurate analysis of soil parameters and proper compaction of the backfill soil to ensure the safety and effectiveness of gabion walls as retaining structures. | eng |
