Numerical analysis of soil-bags system under shear force

The soil-bag system consists of the soil constrained into a polymeric bag which is defined based on tension strength, size, geometric form of polymeric bag and the characteristics of building materials filling inside it which depend on internal friction angle of the soil. The main purpose of this paper is to study the impact of friction coefficient between the polymer bags, under the effect of shear force. Then the mechanical behavior of the soil bags under shear force has been studied in three-dimensional mode, using the finite element software ABAQUS. The results show that the relative horizontal displacement between the bags reduces by increasing the friction coefficient between the surfaces of the bags
