| Abstract | Several retaining walls exhibited structural damage and collapse following the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011. These retaining walls had to be redesigned and rebuilt using more resilient retaining wall systems to withstand the peak ground acceleration of 0.52g. A 3.8m high mass gravity Stone ® Strong retaining wall was designed and constructed in Lyttelton, south of Christchurch. The formation is known as the Lyttelton Volcanic Group which consists of a thick mantle of Canterbury Loess (windblown glacial silt). The Stone ® Strong retaining wall system consists of large modular precast hollow blocks which allowed 550mm diameter auger piles to be installed through the block cavity to provide additional lateral resistance. This paper describes the design verification process using finite element analysis to assess the stability and serviceability of the critical wall sections under seismic condition provided by the principal designer. |
