  • Abstract
    Numerical model of Element Free Galerkin Method (EFGM) coupling Finite Element Method (FEM) for retaining wall is proposed. Concrete was calculated by EFGM and reinforcement was simulated by truss elements in FEM. The stiffness matrix of the whole structure was gained based on displacement compatibility condition. Via analyzing one RC retaining wall, the calculation shows that the method is feasible.
