The accurate geometrical information obtained, was used as
input for the PHASE 2-6.0 geotechnical software of
Rockscience Inc. for preliminary geostructural FE analysis and
allowed a) the reproduction of case history of an intensely
distorted part of the North Wall through back analysis
procedure and the calibration of mechanical parameters of
materials involved as well and b) the evaluation of potential
effect of reburial embankment on the North Wall in contact,
with use of the calibrated parameters derived from the previous
case.
The results of the analyses are proven promising for a
successful geostructural simulation of the circuit wall.
Considering the serious wall’s “pathology”, the correct
geostructural simulation, based on accurate geometric data is
indispensable for the design analysis of the wall’s stability
measures in the near future.
