The Sec<strong>on</strong>d Analysis<br />
In this case, analyses were performed with different geometric properties <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> wall<br />
and <strong>the</strong> applied load and limest<strong>on</strong>e was c<strong>on</strong>sidered as <strong>the</strong> foundati<strong>on</strong> material. The<br />
Plaxis input model is shown in Figure 3.6 while <strong>the</strong> design secti<strong>on</strong>s for <strong>the</strong>se<br />
different cases <strong>of</strong> models are shown in Figures 3.7 to 3.10. The diaphragm wall and<br />
geogrids parameters are <strong>the</strong> same as in <strong>the</strong> first analysis. The design parameters for<br />
<strong>the</strong> different soil cases including <strong>the</strong> foundati<strong>on</strong> soil are shown in Table 3.7.<br />
