Research purposes: The condition of concentrated load acting on the top of retaining wall structure appears in more and more engineering construction. At present, the concentrated load is generally simplified as uniformly distributed load along the rectangular wall, and the structure is designed according to the plane problem. This simplified calculation method is usually to carry out envelope design by means of safety coefficient, which lacks theoretical support and causes engineering waste, and also leaves hidden danger for engineering construction due to poor consideration of retaining wall stability and internal force distribution under concentrated load. In this paper, based on the finite element software ABAQUS, three-dimensional solid models of various retaining wall structures were established to simulate the internal force distribution law under concentrated load and uniformly distributed load, in order to obtain an accurate correction calculation method. Research conclusions: (1) The correction coefficient of concentrated load action can be used to adjust the simplified calculation results of uniformly distributed load. (2) The load strength has no influence on the correction coefficient of concentrated load. (3) Under a single load, the intensification range of concentrated load is only related to the length of retaining wall joints, and its calculation expression is obtained. (4) The expressions for calculating the correction coefficients of several typical retaining wall structures are obtained. (5) The internal force distribution law of retaining wall structure under concentrated load and simple correction calculation method obtained in this paper can provide theoretical support and design reference for retaining wall design under similar load conditions in the future.
