Assessment amount of the horizontal and vertical displacements of sea wall using FLAC3D software

Sea Walls are constructed to protect coastal against of waves and prevent water to coastal. In order to properly understand the behavior of these structures must have proper information of loads to the structure. One of the main significance loads over the sea wall is wave’s loads. Weight forces the walls, Weight backfill, Seawater weight on the heel wall and Forces exerted on the beach other forces that enters the coastal wall. Considering the importance of seawalls study on the stability of these structures has been the subject of study. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, three scenarios include changes in the geometry of the wall and Soil properties. In present study four geometry vertical, inclined, convex, concave, are considered and modeling with Flac 3D software. The results of this study showed that the minimum of horizontal and vertical displacement are about convex seawalls and the maximum of them is about vertical concave seawalls. Also the results showed that in the higher shear strength of soils the minimum of horizontal and vertical displacements occurred.
