Hi all -
Looking to see if anyone has a method that would help with assessing how much impact enery is gerated and potentially transferred through a compacted bund of soil. Client is looking to build into th etow of teh bund and it'd be great to provide an indication on what the structural engineer would need to consider as some sort of impact load on their 1.5m high concrete wall.
Sketch attached, not to scale though. Previous assessment with respect to the bund determines that the bund is high enough to collect debris behind it.
Landslip would be fine grained, not rock fall. Maybe 2m high, and relatively fluidised given high sensitivity of the ground.
The filling has an undrained shear strength of 75kPa.
Thanks in advance
