Limit deformations of retaining walls in Lithuanian hydroschemes

Abstract

In accordance with Standard STR 2.05.04:2003 all deformations of hydraulic structures are diviJt J groups: 1) main - deformations of whole structure and 2) local - deformations of joints, su} Retaining walls of the used hydraulic structures are under the influence of climatic condition s. pressure and other types of loads. Deformations appear because of the aggressive environment and t influence. The aim of the work is to evaluate the limit deformation of retaining walls on hydrosdwva The state of 14 reinforced concrete retaining walls of hydroschemes was evaluated during iht expedition in the period 2007-2012. Retaining walls of hydraulic structures in Kaunas, Marijampolė, Kėdainiai, Panevežys, Šilutė districts were examined and main deformations were determined.
