Mechanical Behavior and Application of a Novel Supporting and Retaining Structure for Slope

This paper proposed a novel supporting and retaining structure used to high-steep building slope reinforcement. It combined with an anti-sliding pile and an inclined supporting column, which is used as a fulcrum on the upper part of pile. The mechanical characteristics of the novel supporting and retaining structure are studied firstly by two mechanical methods and two numerical methods, respectively. Result shows that the axial force will be evenly distributed along the column body and it provide a quite resistant force, meanwhile. There are two shear force concentrated areas of the anti-sliding pile, one is from the top of the embedded area of the pile body to the potential slip plane, the other is at the joint. Subsequently, the results of these methods are compared synthetically and the differences between the results are also discussed. It shows that a large shear force and moment will be caused at the restrained end of the pile body by the force method and 2D numerical model 1. And in Wenkler model and the 2D numerical model 2, the rock is considered non-rigid, the anti-sliding pile will produce a certain amount of deflection under the sliding thrust, which reduces the shear force and moment at the top of the embedded area of the pile body. Finally, the novel supporting and retaining structure is applied to the site, and the monitoring data shows that the novel supporting and retaining structure is economic and effective for the reinforcement of the high-steep building slope

Structural Landslide Mitigation Technique

Landslide occurs in most part of the world. It exists in underwater or on land. The effects of one of this Mother Nature can be disastrous and claiming many lives and not to mention the cost for the infrastructure that are destroyed. These phenomena can be either happens at the non-earthquake area and vice versa. Most contribution to this situation is the excessive pore water pressure and climate change. Pore water pressure can make the soil interaction become weak hence reducing the shear strength of the soil. Once it weak, only matters of time the landslide would occur. Climate change can affect the landslide area by rain, snow, or heat. In many areas, landslides have different type and shape. Ranging from the material, it carried until to the suitable mitigation. Mitigation can be consists of structure. drainage or internal slope reinforcement application depending on the area. Some area of landslides might have two or more mitigation option depending on the area, cost, and the purpose of the prevention. Some of the mitigation structures are use to provide facility in certain cases. Applicability on the specific type of landslides is based on the literature review made by the author from various kinds of cases from different kind of journals that are related to the author research topic. Later. the various mitigation is then compiled with its respective landslide failure. The compilations are then used as a reference for the future mitigation measures so that effective measures and prevention can be carried out. As for the recommendation, the author suggests that more detailed study on this topic should be done to make it more effective and useful in the future for the landslide mitigation option. For the conclusion, the author manages to compile and tabulate different type of landslides into its respective mitigation

Buildings and Structures under Extreme Loads II

Exceptional loads on buildings and structures are known to take origin and manifest from different causes, like natural hazards and possible high-strain dynamic effects, human-made attacks and impact issues for load-bearing components, possible accidents, and even unfavorable/extreme operational conditions. All these aspects can be critical for specific structural typologies and/or materials that are particularly sensitive to external conditions. In this regard, dedicated analysis methods and performance indicators are required for the design and maintenance under the expected lifetime. Typical issues and challenges can find huge efforts and clarification in research studies, which are able to address with experiments and/or numerical analyses the expected performance and capacity of a given structural system, with respect to demands. Accordingly, especially for existing structures or strategic buildings, the need for retrofit or mitigation of adverse effects suggests the definition of optimal and safe use of innovative materials, techniques, and procedures. This Special Issue follows the first successful edition and confirms the need of continuous research efforts in support of building design under extreme loads, with a list of original research papers focused on various key aspects of structural performance assessment for buildings and systems under exceptional design actions and operational conditions
