Abstract

In conventional design of retaining walls the influence of the foundation piles is not regarded. The results of the performed numerical examinations – based on a small scale model test series – which are presented in this paper derive an influence of the piles on the development of the passive earth pressure. This influence leads to a strengthening of the earth wedge respectively a reduction of the wall deformation and depends of several parameters like the pile grid geometry, the embedment depth of the retaining wall or the pile diameter.
