Verification of sufficient anchor lengths with the FEM for double back anchoring and fixed earth support
The article examines whether the verification of the minimum length of grouted anchors for the support of excavation walls using the finite element method (FEM) also leads to plausible results if the wall has an additional fixed earth support. This is intended to show that the associated verification of the required anchor length can not only be carried out using the established “verification of stability in the lower failure plane”, but also with strength reduction method following an FEM calculation, as will be made generally possible in the foreseeable future by the Europe-wide standardization of Eurocode 7. The verification against failure of the earth support is also included in the considerations. Determining the failure mechanisms in the subsoil is of particular importance here. One question is whether a variation of both anchor lengths and the earth support results in different failure mechanisms, as they are specified in the classic methods. It will also be shown how the stability calculated with the FEM develops over the construction phases. From this, knowledge can be gained about the special role of the mode of the wall's earth support and aspects for the optimization of such a construction.
