Abstract

In this paper, a laboratory study of the Bored Pile Retaining Wall with Anchorage Bracing in sandy soils has been conducted. To this end, the physical modeling in laboratory condition was used. The results of the experiments suggest that the ratio of maximum lateral displacement of wall to the depth of excavation () is in the range of 0.145% to 0.51%. Also, the ratio of maximum ground surface settlement to the depth of excavation () is estimated in the range of 0.11% to 0.76. Furthermore, this study investigated the location of maximum lateral displacement of the walls, the ground surface settlement pattern to be used in laboratory studies and determination of the depth of penetration pile.
