Investigation of Inclined Retaining Walls (Located on Slopes) Performance against Static and Earthquake Loads

Reducing the Forces Caused by Earthquake on Retaining Walls Using Granulated Rubber-Soil Mixture

In recent years, various studies have been undertaken on how to use waste materials in civil engineering projects. Among waste materials, waste rubber has been highlighted to be used for different purposes such as reinforcing of soil and making of reinforced slopes. To investigate the properties of granulated rubber-soil mixture and its application in making of slopes behind retaining walls, so...

Investigation of Inclined Retaining Walls (Located on Slopes) Performance against Static and Earthquake Loads

Seismic Analysis of Retaining Walls within Plasticity Framework

Aseismic design of gravity wall still is a more difficult issue. The reason stems from the complexity of the problem which requires skills in soil mechanics, foundation engineering, soil-structure interaction along with knowledge of structure dynamics. Designing seismic gravity retaining structures deals with both kinematic interaction and inertial interaction but almost seismic building code n...

Design Of Retaining Walls : System Uncertainty & Fuzzy Safety Measures

This paper explores some of the aspects of embedded retaining wall design, in particular the interrelationship between system uncertainty and the use of factors of safety in the various design procedures. System uncertainty reflects the mismatch between idealised retaining wall behaviour and what is observed in practice. This feature is modelled using the concept of fuzzy sets where the degree ...
